ABOUT THE JUROR: Kathy Ruttenberg is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, painting, and animation. Emerging from New York's early 1980s East Village art scene, her allegorical paintings contributed to the vitality of the new figurative expressionism of the era. Over the last four decades her work has gradually shifted from painting towards an emphasis on sculpture. Oscillating between the intimate to the monumental, she uses ceramic, bronze, and light to explore themes of ecofeminism, animal liberation, and sexuality. Kathy Ruttenberg (b. 1957, Chicago, IL) lives and works in Upstate New York. (lylesandking.com)
