Juror Statement

As the juror of the Hawaii Craftsmen Annual Show, I feel my core responsibility was to select work that reflects thelong,richhistoryofculturalcraftswhilealso representing the broad spectrum of craft production thatdrawsfromthediversefieldsofnewgenre,newmedia, design, and new materials. Regardless ofthe source, my objective is to select artworks united by the meticulous and masterful handling of the mediums, some illustrating thoughtful and intelligent expressions of traditional materials and processes, some depicting complex hybrid approaches that fuse modern technologies with conventional forms, and others embodying cutting edge aesthetic experimentations that speculate on the dissolutionofboundariesbetweenart/craftdisciplinesandhierarchies.

The goal is to choose each work so that it represents an authentic expression of an individual style and demonstrates the artist’s quest to explore the multiple meaningsofutility,ritual,conceptualism,andcelebration.Further,worksshoulddemonstrate the highest standards of artistic quality and superb craftsmanship, and reflecttheartist’skeenknowledgeofmaterialsandtechniques.Insum,objectsshouldbeaestheticallyresolved.Ultimately, it is my intention that the final juried exhibition convey to the

viewer the delicate balance existing in craft objects between the fundamentals of dexterous execution, formal aesthetic tensions, and the daring leap into uncharted territory—thatknife-edgeofexcitingsurprisewhereexquisiterefinementmeetsvisionary form. I hope when viewed collectively the spectator will sense theurgency and clarity of the work on display in the Hawaii Craftsmen Annual showcase and feel it is original, self-assured, and expansive in its sensory diffusion andconnectiontoideas.

Our Annual Exhibition

Amazingly, this is Hawaii Craftsmen’s 45th Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition. We’ve made it this far because of the countless volunteers who have contributed thousands of hours over the years. This tradition of respect and dedication to promote and support the craft community continues because we all value those great resources: hard work and creativity in the arts. This year, more than ever before, the HC board’s effort to increase statewide participation has paid off because the show is almost evenly divided between work from Oahu and work from the neighbor islands. Many thanks to all of this year’s volunteers (too numerous to name here but you know who you are) and to Abi Good, the chair, for all her efforts to bring everything together successfully.

Aloha,S. Kay MuraPresident, Hawaii Craftsmen
