Juror Biographies
I am as excited by work that follows a smart or fantastic or quirky strategy as I am by work that is exquisitely crafted and designed. Work that attracts a wider audience, work that gives a broader view of the medium, work that relates to its environment, or is informed by other disciplines, or mashes up history/culture/tradition/ideas, work that “transcends” the material in that it is just amazing, simple, beautiful, quiet work - I think all of this is important in our time. I have either been audience or sometimes participant in Ink & Clay for the past 16 years. It is truly one of the preeminent shows of its kind in Los Angeles, and a great platform to advance the field. It was important to the former director of Kellogg Gallery and master printmaker, Patrick Merrill (1948 - 2010), that Ink & Clay some day become a national show, and carefully nurtured its growth and rel- evance. I am very happy to see current director Quinton Bemiller realize this goal, both for the show’s profile, and for the memory of Patrick. I am honored to participate, and look forward to seeing what artists are up to these days.
Michael David - Ink Co-Juror
Judging artwork is always subjective and can differ from day-to-day or even hour-to-hour. For that reason I try not to be impulsive and often view all the submitted works numerous times over several days. I look for work that impresses me over and over and does not loose my interest or my fascination with it. Often it is work unique to the artist in some way / look for that element of surprise, something I had never seen before or done quite in the same way I have no preference between figurative or abstract imagery, media or conceptual ideology. If it 1 seems genuine in its intentions, honest in its execution, and serious of its content, I will want to look at it ... again and again.
Liza Folman - Ink Co-Juror
It is always immensely challenging to jury an exhibition, but it is also a great pleasure to see the wonderful work submitted. I try to select a group that indicates the highest levels of creative and technical achievement by the entrants, with an entirely open approach to their diverse artistic processes and perspectives.
