Juror's Overall Comments:
Jurying exhibitions is an immense pleasure for me. Akin to going to a party where at first you don't know anyone, the process is one of finding your way and being introduced to new friends and ideas. Those selected for this exhibition, as well as all who entered, ought to be commended. The work at the NAA is strong and well-crafted. I was introduced to exciting visuals and thought-provoking series. Perhaps, as the works are hung, new conversations among the pieces will ensue and contribute to a harmonious. I'd like to thank the NAA for inviting me into this wonderful community. Also, special thanks go out to the organizers, the board, the amazing volunteers, and everyone who shared their work and vision.
