Since it should technically go to the Epiphany, we'll continue our Xmas Countdown with CAROL TASHJIAN’s Weather Diary collages. (And, yes, UNDER $100 has come down from the Wall, but the show continues to be available for online shopping during our Mummers/New Year hiatus.) This head-turning new series, which the jury singled out with a BAROMETRIC BREAKTHROUGHS award, feels like a pandemic project of sorts but had its genesis just a couple of seasons ago. “During the July heat wave, I began saving the daily weather reports and loosely mimicking, in ink, the weather patterns depicted on the map,” reports the artist. “What’s come of it from there is technically collage, but my thinking process is closer to the geometric improvisation I use in quiltmaking.”
