Video: Bronx Artist Barbara Korman Talks About Her New Work
Last week, we published a piece about Barbara Korman, a prolific, award-winning Bronx artist who lives in Bedford Park. She only recently began showing her artwork in the Bronx again after being absent from the Bronx art scene for more than a decade. (Many people will tell you there was no Bronx art scene until recently as several organizations, big and small, have started to collaborate on large-scale exhibits.) In this video, Korman talks about the process involved in creating her new nature-inspired installation pieces, which created using the branches of downed tree limbs.
