Congratulation! Wonderful honor for you and and a wonderful image. I love
the whole idea of your project and the story of the
bowl.--Rene
I'm pleased to mention that one of my
polymer plate photogravures entitled "Hetta's Bowl With Pears" from a
the limited edition series The Adventures of Hetta's Bowl won the grand prize
at the Norris Cultural Art's Center VICINITY Show and the Lester J. Norris
Memorial Award. This is a juried show that includes all types of art
media submitted by artists from the Chicago area.
This image & print is the first of a
series of 10 images based on this beautiful old wooden bowl. Hetta is
the mother of dear friends and was quite a wonderful character. She was
a social worker and wife of a prominent University of Chicago Professor in
Sociology, Clifford Shaw. He started the Chicago Area Project and his
work led to the development of the Peace Corps by Shri ver. Hetta made
wonderful salads in this bowl using a technique all her own and had a
wonderful way with people. My favorite quote from Hetta regarding
politicians: "Something that a few good Christian burials might
solve!"

The show will be up October 3 through
November 14 at the Norris Cultural Arts Center in St. Charles, Illinois.
Pardon me in advance for my lack of humility
in sharing this.
