12 DAYS AND COUNTING: With UNDER $100 closing on December 29 (12/28 is the last full day), it’s well worth doing our own Twelve Days of Christmas, counting down to the Big Day...rather than up to the Epiphany. We already had drummers drumming in the recent Phil Sumpter extravaganza...so how about 12 BOXES A-BOOMING?!? That’s one of three works from the inimitable JIM BIGLAN, perhaps the most versatile of OFF THE WALL artists who earned from the jury the MOST PROGRESSIVE USE OF MEDIA accolade. The award reflects not just this sculpture combined but also two head-turning works that call on his newfound love of loom weave, embroidery and fabric art in general, an epiphany emerging from a Kutztown weaving class taken last summer. Is there a medium remaining that Jim has not yet tackled, both with passion and aplomb?
