Juror's Choice Award

Size

48" x 48"

Medium

Relief print, marker and acrylic, unframed

In early 2020 (pre-Covid), I attended an artist residency in Leipzig, Germany. I chose Leipzig to understand better my Mother, whose family was from there. Growing up, we had a turbulent relationship, which only improved in her final months. I wanted to gain perspective on her narrative. “Shock” is an exploration of these conflicting feelings. The print on the figure was created from a rubbing on one of the trees in Leipzig, wolves being a strong figure of strength in Germany.
