Juror Statement
I had the wonderful opportunity to be this year’s juror for the Tiny Things exhibition at CAL. I’ve always been impressed by artists who can create small-scale works of art, as they require a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and precision. It was refreshing to see so many submissions from both established and emerging artists working in a wide range of mediums. As I reviewed each submission, I asked myself several questions, such as whether the work evokes any emotions and whether the details are well-considered, composed, designed, and/or crafted. Is the work fully resolved and finished? Based on these criteria, I selected a diverse set of captivating artworks. I’d like to express my gratitude to CAL for their hard work in organizing the exhibition and making it easy for me to carry out my duties as a juror. To the artists who submitted their work, I commend you and thank you, as taking the first step is often the most challenging. I hope everyone enjoys this year’s Tiny Things exhibition!

All artworks in this show are limited to 8” x 8”, including frame. Artists are challenged and inspired to create something tiny in physical size, but still powerful and touching in impact and emotion. Changing our perspective and viewpoint in one way can lead us to see our entire world in expansive ways. Size isn’t everything; so what is it really, and how does it impact the creation, vision, and enjoyment of art?
