PDX Window Project in The Oregonian A&E

Portlander Johanna Barron, a third-generation Oregonian, presents the mixed-media piece "Still Life With Unfolding Rock," 2012. Barron's work considers the ways in which spaces and objects affect us, and how environments may become psychological extensions of the self. "This group of work is about my relationship to rocks," she says, "from a self portrait as a child carrying rocks to imagined lichen and moss that might grow from artificial rocks, to larger things like the contemplation of the transformation of matter through time and space." Barron adds that the project was inspired by Schopenhauer's philosophy of the sublime.
