Linnet Hunter honors the work of the 2011 ALMA winner by acknowledging his ability to tell a story without boxing himself into a style, format or genre. Instead she describes him as a narrative artist who “can make us question what we thought we had seen and known, and to look again at what was once familiar and see it afresh.”
