"Swamp (Pond Series No. 5)" by Roberta Lagomarsini won First Place - Abstract at Houston 2023.
Artist Statement: "FIfth in my "Pond Series," this quilt depicts a swamp, the interface between the pond and land, where often there are very cool things going on. In my swamp, there are decaying plants that form the basis for the next crop of plants, the roots and seeds of pond plants, insect larva nymphs, fish, and amphibian eggs, as well as oxygen and other gases bubbling towards the surface. Plants are piercing the surface, reaching to the sunlight. This is renewal and regrowth."
