as always, because i am not a household name, as yet? people buy my work mostly because they just plain like it, and that is fine as it simply means my work sells itself on the strength of the ideas being expressed, so i try to acknowledge other situations where the strength of the idea put forth has been acknowledged and in this case i speak of juries in the art societies exhibitions i have submitted work into. as such i am grateful the judges saw enough merit in the work to want to include it in their event.
