Judge’s comments:
A technically accomplished work, this etching employs a large elliptical form to house organic tendrils that may suggest the beginnings of life, or in this instance, referring to Nyitting, or the Dreaming. The line that bisects the work may be that liminal space between above and below where much understanding and knowledge resides.
