About the Juror: Paul Bright is currently the Director of the Charlotte and Philip Hanes Gallery at Wake Forest University. He was born in Ohio and graduated from the University of South Carolina (BFA; cum laude). As an artist, he adopted collage early as an approach and continues to employ it, primarily in material collages often formed from found, de-collaged elements; and in aural collages composed from sound he records. His work has been shown in the US, Germany, England, Italy, Switzerland, and Canada. His non-artist professional life began in art museums while in college, and has additionally encompassed tenures in history museums and art galleries.
