Untitled
etching

"In another untitled etching, she weaves the cycle of traditional roles involving the Chicana within a braid of hair which encircles a woman’s face. The contemporary roles of the Chicana in labor, health services, and education are represented in this powerful commentary. Barbara seldom titles her work as she believes interpretations should come from the individual viewing her work, without the inferences and subtleties often implied in titles." Excerpt from Sybil Venegas, "The Artists and Their Work: The Role of the Chicana Artist." ChismeArte, 1, no.4 (Fall/Winter 1977)
