After playing the recorded interview, Saunders showed slides of his art to the audience, but he did not go into detail about the individual pieces. Then, in an unusual move for a juror's lecture, Saunders asked 20 people from the audience to help him in an explanation of his philosophies on art. He asked the volunteers to stand in a line, and he handed each of them a card. After having the cards read, Saunders opened the lecture to questions from the audience. One audience member asked him how he reaches his art students.
Art is about accessing the creative process.
You do it with trust, commitment and wanting to do it. To give myself to others so they can see what I feel, what I think. It may not have been a typical juror's lecture, yet the audience left with a better understanding of how this artist approaches his art. He likes to give people the unexpected which is part of his artistic personality.
