About
This year’s call for entries saw 624 domestic and international entries from 234 artists. Jurors Linda Tesner and Justin Gibbens accepted 180 works from 145 artists.
Linda Tesner is the Director of the Hoffman Gallery at Lewis & Clark College. Of jurying the exhibition, Linda writes, “It was a delightful honor to have been asked to jury the annual 10 x 10 x 10 exhibition at Mighty Tieton! Perhaps the most arresting thing that I experienced in viewing the more than 600 entries—in addition to the paradoxical power of the small work of art—was the tremendous breadth of media involved in the making of these works. Not only were there plenty of wonderful traditional expressions in painting, drawing, and photography, but there were some captivatingly unexpected materials—felt, a makeup mirror, soap! It is unendingly inspiring to me to see where the creative impulse takes an artist. My congratulations to the artists selected for 10 x 10 x 10. I look forward to seeing more of their work in the years to come.”
Justin Gibbens is a master draftsman, trained in both scientific illustration and traditional Chinese painting-a skill set that he employs in his zoological drawings. He is a founding member of PUNCH Gallery, an artist-run gallery located in Seattle, WA. He has shown nationally and internationally and lives in rural Thorp, Washington. Of jurying 10x10, Justin writes: “So, what to look for? Three things: Craftsmanship, Concept and finally, Consideration of scale. Did the piece demonstrate a particular intention and skill in the given aesthetic and medium? Was there something exciting, novel or poignant about the content? And finally, how did the size of the work affect the overall impact of the piece? For many of the submissions, these where not easy questions to answer, and in a perfect world all of them would be worthy of inclusion and recognition. But things aren’t perfect. Space was limited, and we all have biases. I congratulate all of the artists whose work made the final cut. 10 inches is arguably a difficult criterion, and making work that holds up on this intimate of scale is challenging.”
