2ND PLACE

Olia Tsetniva

Boston, Massachusetts

A Curious Gaze

acrylic, print, rubber and ink on

canvas; 44⁷⁄₁^0 x35½

“In A Curious Gaze, I explore

a visual unawareness that has

been gradually introduced

by the digital age. A new

civilization might be perceived

paradoxically as amorphic

beings without any desires

for consumption, freedom,

joy or balance. In this work

I’ve created a space with

a predetermined vision of

missing human tactility.”

3RD PLACE

Lisa-E

San Diego, California

Window in Time
acrylic on canvas, 36x36

“I developed Window In Time
over several months of chasing
subconscious promptings and
memories. For the mark-making
and sgraffito, I used specialized
Japanese trowels and a variety
of palette knives, resulting in an
illusion of depth, light and
intriguing textures that together
suggest different dimensions of
space-time.”
