CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING BONANZA 2021 PRIZE WINNERS:
Judged by Elvis Richardson
Exhibition in Gallery 3, Yarra Sculpture Gallery March 2022
TINKY – After the second murder this week, police were trying to develop a full picture of things, but were concerned they weren’t on top of their surveillance technology.
Judge's comments:
This imaginative piece creates a scene using nostalgia, story telling and humour to engage the viewer with familiar but strange fictions. Looking also at the artists wider practice I felt she was ready for an exhibition which would be engaging and playful and appeal to the general public.
$500 Cash Prize
HEINZ BOECK – Three legged configuration
Judge's comments:
Assemblage like a puzzle using balance momentum and ingenuity to reconstruct a formal and figurative piece with anamorphic qualities.
$500 worth of foundry services from Funderes Studio Fine Art Foundry.This can include a range of processes involved in having artworks cast.
JACKIE RALPH – Wild Pig
Judge's Comments:
My fav piece in the catalogue – so expressive in the vulnerable body language and pose of the pig as well as evocative choice of materials bring this piece to life I can almost hear it squeal.
Annual Subscription to Art Almanac
ROBERT WAGHORN – covering up
Judge's Comments:
Such original use of materials cardboard and wood look like corrugated iron and terrazzo concrete.
Automatic Entry into Yering Station Art Prize
HELEN PHILIPP- Entangled (a smack of jellyfish)
Judge's Comments:
I thought this artists work was professional with a relevant climate concept which she displays beautifully. I believe these works and her broader practice would make an valuable contribution to the Yering Station Art Prize in that it would offer a challenging outdoor forum to present her work which uses materials suitable for an outdoor setting, this artist creates volume through repetition so her work has infinite potential to scale up and scale down.
Judged by Anna Prifti
Exhibition at Westendartspace
FELICITY GORDON - Sycamore Seed
Judge's Comments:
I was fascinated by the artists' use of paper mache to turn a minute element into a large Sculptural object.
