Juror's Statement for the JWS Fall Show - November 2006 The Jacksonville Watercolor Society members have presented a wide variety of techniques and subject matter. This year's show is very strong in figurative works. Good luck with yhour exhibit and thank you for having me as your juror. Artists are problem solvers and designers. For a work to be successful we have to solve the problems we set up for ourselves. The choicess we make during this process must lead us to a well-composed and cohesive unit. Unity is one of our major goals. As a juror, I am looking for that unity melded with visual excitement. I would like to see the concept or idea worked out with a blending of technique, media and concept. From the works presented I strove to have a show of varied ideas, concepts and technique. The professional presentation of the work is also considered. A an award judge, I am drawn to the pieces that make me want to take a second look. A good work of art makes you want to discover something new, to view at a different "level" or just enjoy what you saw. As a juror I make a sincere effort to maintain a consistent objectivity in the selection process. "Good Art" isn't determined by realism, degrees of abstraction or non-objectivity; nor by media, size, or subject. This is a subjective process. You may not agree with the selections I have make to include in this exhibit, and other jurors would most definitely have some different selections. Your members should be proud of the body of work chosen to be included in this show. ~ Sue Archer
