Sculpting, formulating
legal arguments
—Jon H. Saline
Sculpture category winner
“First I look at the basic shape and qualities
of a piece of wood,” says Saline, a practitioner
in Navajo and Apache Counties. “Then I
determine what aspects I would like to high-
light. This gives a basic idea
of the end result. Next I
start turning the wood and
removing material. The
resulting form sort of cre-
ates itself as I go along. It
is the same with any legal
argument. I start with the
applicable law, look for
supporting facts, review the
opposing party’s arguments
(and how to
cut them away, if possible).”
Adopting a
stress reliever
from the law
—Gary Fry
Poetry category winner
Practicing law for 35 years
in Phoenix, Fry was involved
with trial work as well as com-
mercial real estate transac-
tions. He sees both law and
creative endeavors as sharing certain needs,
such as solitude and space. “There’s a defi-
nite need for discipline,” says Fry. However,
the Bisbee resident doesn’t see art influenc-
ing critical thinking that much. He credits
pure inspiration as the driving factor behind
the award-winning haikus. And he cred-
its art with providing a great stress reliever
from the rigors of legal practice. “Creative
endeavors give one a chance to recharge,”
Fry points out.
