Collaborative Maker | Installation Artist | Ikat Weaver
Her training comes from master weavers in the US and Japan, an art education at Cranbrook Academy of Art, and through discoveries making and installing large scale place-based artwork across the US. The sense of the hand in her work holds a tender balance with the highly technological aspects of our built environment while connecting us to the natural environment.
Barbara Bosworth is a photographer whose large-format images explore both overt and subtle relationships between humans and the natural world.
Barbara Bosworth’s large format photographs explore both overt and subtle relationships between humans and the natural world. Whether chronicling the efforts of hunters or bird banders or evoking the seasonal changes that transform mountains and meadows, Bosworth’s caring attention to the world around her results in images that inspire viewers to look closely.
Over her long career, Bosworth has photographed with a large-format 8x10 camera. Her single images display a generous attention to small facts, while her large-scale triptychs reveal a panoramic awareness, one that lets viewers glimpse relationships between frames across a wide field. All of Bosworth’s projects remind viewers not only that we shape nature but that it also shapes us.
Bosworth’s work has been widely exhibited, notably in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (2024), Cleveland Museum of Art (2024), Denver Art Museum (2015), Peabody Essex Museum (2012), and Smithsonian American Art Museum (2008).
Bosworth is the recipient of a 1995 Guggenheim Fellowship and the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from The Cleveland Arts Prize.
Bosworth grew up in Novelty, Ohio, and lives in Massachusetts, where she is Professor Emeritus of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Margot Anne Kelley writes essays and full-length works of nonfiction. She received her BA at the College of the Holy Cross, an MA and PhD in American literature at Indiana University, and an MFA in media and performing arts at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design. During a long career in academia, she taught expository writing, literature, photography, and aesthetic theory at the undergraduate and graduate levels, before becoming Editor-in-Chief of The Maine Review from 2016 to 2019.
