Best in Show
Nearing the Light, by James Talbot
35 x 39 x 3 inches (HxWxD), Glass seed beads, stained wrought iron, brass, layered fabric, welded steel armature.
From the artist, "A loose impression of a light-seeking moth gave rise to this wall-hung sculpture. The base is quilted fabric on a warped steel frame, and carpeted with appliqué, wrapped, and densely-fringed beads. Stained wrought iron feelers and hooks grow through glass thickets. The edges are single strands and clusters of bead fringe with hand-colored thread tails, and handmade brass beads bind the clusters."
Overall Runner Up
Re-Tired Raven, by Cindy Chinn
49 x 33 inches (WxH), Recycled Bicycle tires, inner tubes, and parts
From the artist, "The Raven is crafted entirely from discarded bicycle tires and mounted atop an old bicycle rim. This piece, the signature work of the collection, depicts a magnificent raven emerging triumphantly from the tire, reborn and revitalized."

Cast Your Fate to the Moon, by MaryBeth Garrigan
60 x 48 inches, Acrylic on Canvas
