about the work

silk has memory, the ability to retain a shape once fixed. it holds that shape until moisture relaxes it again. this attribute of silk provides metaphor for the fragility of human memory and longing. barbara returns from a recent residency with new work inspired by her summer in italy.

also visit the gallery the day after thanksgiving for hand-crafted holiday ornaments by various artists.
