The subject matter - the English translation of the island’s motto - once again placed Bermuda at the centre. As in previous years, some artists stuck to the theme religiously while others showed a bit of latitude. We were pleased with the number of new and first time exhibitors as well as the variety of the subject matter (only one artwork referenced Gombeys this year although octopi proved surprisingly popular) and materials used. The works were assessed by a panel of foreign judges including art lecturer Linda Wilde, and gallery owners Robin Light and Lisa Norris.
The eponymous prize worth $10,000 was won on the night by photographer Jayde Gibbons whose assemblage of a Good Friday gathering paid homage to long-standing Bermudian traditions. Other winners included Kok Wan Lee’s
Uncertainty Landscape for Design and Composition, Andrea Sundt’s
Ember for Use of Material, Gillian Outerbridge’s
Old Autumn in the Misty Morn for Distinctive and Convincing Style, and Charles Zuill’s
Primal Bermuda for Source of Inspiration. The Masterworks Collection Prize was awarded to Kyle James’ aerial photograph of the island entitled
Morning City Rise.
