barbara beyer
Barbara Beyer is a Sculptor living and working in London. Barbara is member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, The London Group and Studio Member at Rochester Square Ceramics in Camden. In her work she is drawn to minimal and archaic forms, natural and manmade and the evoking sensation of the sculptural object. Her work addresses and celebrates but also questions the consequences of our fundamental ability to shape, change and make. Traces of process remain and material qualities and potential become visible and form an essential part of her work.
