JUROR: LINDA WISE
As a manager for a garbage company, it never ceases to amaze Linda Wise the amount of waste humans generate. Objects seem to lose their usefulness so quickly in our society. But many things are still useful. Most items that are placed in the trash can either have multiple purposes or can be used as raw materials that can be transformed into building materials, playground mats, new containers, compost, energy, and ART! When Linda goes to the dump, she doesn't see waste. She sees the potential to sculpt cows, warrior women, or gates. She lets the objects she finds give her direction to what forms the sculptures will take-- whether abstract, serious, or whimsical.
