Judge’s Comments:
At first glance this painting asks many questions and plays with our curiosity. As a composition the texture, movement, and bright contrasting color of the background draw the viewer in. But what is it we are looking at? The image appears very abstracted but through the title we realize that the artist is representing a section of a prayer rope. The undulating twisted forms here feel giant in scale, alive, and containing a force beyond explanation. This artist has created a work with strong tension between the forms of the abstracted shapes and the content of what is actually being represented.
