BIO

Barbara began as a weaver, teacher, and textile/surface design artist before finding bookarts in NC 20 years ago. Her work has been to explore binding and structure with many creations evolving into sculptural pieces. For this show, she has used the tunnel book structure to express her personal early delight in reading pulp fiction and a fond memory of her mother always having a paperback in the 40s. The Pulp Fiction to Friction piece further reveals her own inner turmoil with the current friction in play on the national and global fronts. Make we find a way to build new structure within which we all can fulfill our need to better communicate and regenerate harmony.
