TINA WENTCHER - FIRST PRIZE WINNER At the 2024 Annual and Awards exhibition presented by the Association of Sculptors of Victoria, the judges described the work as "incredibly silly but wonderful," highlighting their appreciation for how it plays with the tradition of figurative sculpture. The reference to white plaster maquettes of monumental works was noted, but the sculpture subverts this tradition with its subject matter. The judges acknowledged the current dark times and expressed pleasure in seeing a piece that brings whimsy and joy to the exhibition. They also praised the work for its beautiful execution and for standing out strongly within the exhibition.
