Title: Rodents
Artist: Anuj Vashisht
Award: MasterCrafter
Jury’s Comments:
Jarring and hypnotizing – this potent combo of prose and art captures unbridled angst and then multiplies it with the sharp uncomfortable geometry of a snake. The shape language of the snake and its portal-esque mouth are truly incredible.
