Some Lights Are From Fires by Barbara Bosworth
Some Lights Are From Fires by Barbara Bosworth is a memorial piece for Bosworth’s brother who died in 2022. With images made during her brother’s life, Bosworth weaves a visual narrative of love, loss, family, and the struggle of a life lived in the shadows. Hands, silhouettes, water, and fire reveal an elemental familial bond and confronts the finality of loss.
“For Ron, my brother, who lived in the shadows. He taught me to look for the light” - Barbara Bosworth

About the Artist
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.
