excerpts By HELEN L. KOHEN  Herald Art Critic

 "To the list of awards, for example, I'd add an airy and graceful work of sculpture by artist Jim Liccione.  A floor screen called Save The Rain Forest, and with its twisted steel tendrils and dangling wood plantains, it looks as if it might have been created by Giacometti in a Baroque moment".
