Juror: Codie King
"I come from a background in fine arts education which includes BFA & MFA degrees in ceramics which focuses on the concept of form, function and craftsmanship. My career of over 40 years has evolved around art of all genres, but my passion is abstract art. Throughout history, there have been many debates about abstract art and what it is. Non-representational imagery, surrealism, cubism, minimalism, contemporary art and more, are all labels under the “abstract art” umbrella. Reviewing the art submitted, I will rely on my intuitive concept of what abstract art is to me, as well as, the use of formal considerations of composition, line, color and texture. I want to be surprised and motivated by your abstract art, which will allow me to create my own story of what I see. Within that story, I will be looking at the details and the craftsmanship involved in the final presentation."
