Barbara's practice includes an interest in ceramic history, which is evident throughout her work.  For her, one approach is to develop or bring forward an idea or technique embedded in history.  She leaves whispers of historical content for us to decipher.  We are challenged, as the viewer, since we see these works through the filter of her unique, contemporary vocabulary.
