Carousel 25″ x 25″ Edition of 25
Wessel & Lieberman Booksellers is pleased to announce an exhibition of the work of Cara Barer.
The event will highlight the dynamic photographs the Houston-based artist and showcase her sculptural approach to the book.
Shot on a black background, found books take on color and shape, elegantly transposed by the artist’s hands into recognizable forms. The dirtied, warped, and sometimes dyed leaves of text may become the wings of a butterfly, the gills of a mushroom, or the intricately symmetrical crystals of a newly formed snowflake.
Two Dreams 14″ x 14″ Edition of 25Cara Barer studied Art and Photography at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and at the Art Institute of Houston. Her work has appeared in shows from New York to California, and throughout the state of Texas. This will be the first exhibition of her photography in the Pacific Northwest.
