An art piece by Amy Sands, Assistant Professor of Studio Arts, has taken first prize at an international competition in Spain.
Constellation XXI was selected out of 674 entries from 44 countries for the award. The international competition is an exhibition focusing on the miniature print entitled Mini Print International Cantabria - III Edition 2020 and is hosted at the Faro Cabo Mayor Art Center in Santander, Spain.
The image area of Constellation XXI is only two inches in diameter and is handmade kozo paper that is hand printed, digitally cut and layered. Sands says the piece is the smallest print she’s ever made.
