Judges' comments

The stunning interpretation from the progression of the base to the dried plant material creates a clever design. The balance is effected ever so slightly by the leaning of the ring and kale.

Fanciful choice of plant material reflects the activity in the painting. The multitude of colors and shapes of plant material prohibit a focal area.

The flirtatious use of color reflects the painting. Too many elements compete for dominance.

Vasily Kandinsky
Sketch 160A, 1912

Judges' comments

Subtle color choices and components echo the graphics in the painting which create a rhythmic interpretation. There is a slight excess of the acrylic forms.
