FROM THE ARTIST
From the competition theme, "The Natural World", I have selected the lowly snail for my obverse "... let the earth bring forth creatures of all kinds, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth. The earth did so and God saw that this was good …" For the reverse, I portrayed the image of a sculptor, past present and to come -- holding in his hands the obverse and reverse of this self-same medal. My personal tribute to the101 sculptors who have gone before me in this outstanding medallic collection.
