| "Johnston views life as a complexity. He doesn’t hide from life’s brutal truths. At the same time, he neither wallows in self-indulgent cynicism nor embraces ugliness for its shock value or for its own sake. He takes in the beauty and the truth of life along with the lies and the perversions, the joy, anguish, acts of betrayal and kindness. Within his soul Johnston ruminates upon the great bewildering human morass, then with effort and some grief, he transforms this raw matter into an object of beauty to comfort us. The best way to view a work by Johnston is to receive it as an act of compassion and a generous gift. His art can make the harsh world more comprehensible and sometimes even fill it with grace." — American Arts Quarterly magazine, Spring 2001. |

| "Millennium 2000", 1999 Bronze Medal |
|
This medal is designed to stimulate reflection by looking at the relationship of "conscience and consciousness." The obverse side, "conscience," is represented by a female figure nurturing the core of her being, her inner world. From her center is born a deep inner knowing or conscience, where lies the heart of human awareness. This circle, also representing the earth, becomes a portal to the reverse side of the medal which addresses "consciousness" -- a greater awareness of our responsibilities to ourselves, others, and the world about us. |

| "Attempted Rescue," 1999 |
|
While two structures come crushing in like a vice on two figures, one reaches upward in a desperate effort to save a fallen colleague. The work is reminiscent of the New York Twin Towers collapse.
