Michael Biddison:
"Songs and Stories of Broken Things"

Biddison characterizes his work as "Shrubbi", a term he coined for transformed trash. His work is a process of reincarnation, combining & harmonizing magnetic chunks of stuff & overlapping their stories into new creatures. His materials include found wood, ancient architectural fragments, car parts & discarded plexiglass.
The exhibit runs through March 1.
