Judges Comments-Honorable MentionThe Moment Between Storms / Nita Owen-Roche / mixed mediaThe use of contrasting textures in this piece really tells the story. The work is intricatebut carefully planned and constructed. The lines of thread convey form and structure,and the raised elements/panels give surprising depth and dimension. The choice to varythe texture of the storm cloud and the menacing twist of the tornado bring this to life.And, of course, the red dirt that the central part of our state is known for grounds thiswork.
