Barbara Robertson
Northwest artist Barbara Robertsonʼs new body of work challenges the boundaries between still and time based media, expanding her imagery into dynamic combinations of still and moving images. The foundation of the exhibition, the Gray Series, is a group of two-dimensional, mixed media works on paper that explore concepts of space, motion and light. Always seeking to explore new print and digital related media, in two of the works Robertson used an animation program to create moving images projected onto still images. These moving elements are constantly interacting with the still parts to form continuously changing combinations of imagery. Two other works are solely animations displayed on screens.
Barbara Robertson received partial funding for this animation project from a 2009 4Culture Grant. Robertson has received numerous other grants and awards including the Neddy Artist Fellowship Award and a Fellowship in Digital and Traditional Print from Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA. Her work can be found in many public collections such as the Tacoma Art Museum, King County 4 Culture Portable Works, and the City of Seattle, Portable Works Collection.

Additional Works Available
Seattle artist, educator, conservator, curator and Seattle Print Arts founder, Barbara Robertson has completed a new body of medium and large scale work which continues her exploration of a combination of digital output with traditional print and drawing techniques. "Ambiguities of space and scale, virtual and actual, and the relationship between micro and macro are defining aspects of my current work... The tension between the photographic and hand drawn images, between the symbolic and diagrammatic forms and the resulting expressive possibilities are both the foundation and the focus of the work... At the heart of my work are ideas related to space, motion, and light, inspired by current scientific inquiry in the fields of physics, astronomy and biology."
