    - Award: Best of Show and Best in Sculpture Category for Forgiven & Restored Juror statement: “Upon first sight, the jurors were moved by the emotion that comes through this piece. We noticed it both individually and as a group and kept coming back to it. The rapturous joy in the father’s face is exquisitely etched. The boy’s desperation, relief and exhaustion are all evident in the way his body is draped against his father’s. The way that both bodies are positioned adds to the emotion of the piece. How fitting the Prodigal Son is for the theme of this show.”
