The Awakening

The Awakening

David Varnau was awarded Third Place in the Juried Three Dimensional Art Gallery for his sculpture, The Awakening, at the Edmonds Arts Festival.  The juried art galleries exhibit works by some 450 local, regional and national artists whose art was also juried in to the event.   

About the sculpture for which he was awarded the prize, David commented, “Each of us has experienced an epiphany where we, like the male depicted here, are struck by a truth that had previously eluded us.  It becomes akin to a rebirth, an opening of our eyes, much like the biblical figure, Lazarus, awakened from the dead.

The annual festival is held on Fathers Day Weekend, June 13-15, 2014, Friday and Saturday, 10 am-8 pm.  Sunday, 10 am-6 pm.
