Automatic Entry into Yering Station Art Prize
Prize winner:  Sugawara Takahiko - United Series
​Judges notes
The contrast between black and gold makes a simple, elegant statement in the work - it’s just right…the porous nature of the metal allows a kind of oxygen…feels like it’s speaking to the elements….meticulous attention to detail.

Judges notes
a representation of the ever decreasing gap between the human/digital divide. The melding of the two are so evident in this work…down to the colourful painted forms that were maybe paint covered hands melting into the device and the into the circuit boards. I imagined this artist was once a street artist turned to sculpture…I hope if it’s represented in bronze that the colour of the melted hands is maintained.

Exhibition at Yarra Sculpture Gallery
Prize winner: Carolyn Menzies - In woven fields
​Judges notes
Interplay between domestic care and emergent ways of thinking and being…the harsh steel forms propping up the years of care represented in the reformed blanket…giving the blanket new meaning as a sculptural form in it’s own right…you can see the time and detail in this work, through the embroidered gestures that potentially offer a deeper reading of women’s work across time.

$500 Cash Prize
Prize winner: Sharon Crabb - Yarra Bend 7
​Judges notes
Projection - a form of expanded practice with image and sound …creating a physical affect as does more traditional forms of sculpture. The ominous soundtrack - I’m always attracted to sound before image. To me it reads as a timely piece drawing attention to the impact of the climate crisis in cities…speaking to the way cities have come to dominate our landscapes, inviting the viewer to consider this critical aspect of our existence.

Prize winner: Helen Philipp - Regeneration 1-3
​Judges notes
There is Something beautifully sci fi about this work…I wondered what Ursula Le Guin might think… I see this work an act of meditative restoration on the impacts of climate change…an act of care that invites us to reimagine human/landscape entanglements…
