 VISUAL ART
As you visit with the artists this evening, we hope you consider
adding to your collection or starting one this evening, or even
commissioning your own work of art by one of tonight’s artists.

Michael Barickman studioburbia@yahoo.com

A sculptor of wood and what-not, that others have cast away,
to make objects of function and dysfunction, art and not.
“Dorothy in Suburbia” imitates the peddlar’s wagon in the
movie version. Objects in the “wagon” are tactile, touchable,
taken to the table, rolled, worried and wondered over.
