Karma Barnes

The Conversation Corner

Step into Karma Barnes’ evolving practice through her conversation with the Wild Pigment Project. In this reflective interview, she shares how working with raw pigments, mineral sediment, and site-based materials deepens her exploration of ecological precarity, collective memory, and impermanence. Through this dialogue, we gain insight into her process-driven installations and the ways materiality, trauma-informed methods, and place-based research intersect in her work.
