Barbara Scavotto-Earley and I go back – way back! Barb was one of my close friends in grade school. As happens in life, we went our separate ways – and then converged once again as adults. Barbara is now a famous sculptor. Last year, I commissioned her to create a sculpture of one of my favorite cameras – an old ”folder camera” from the 1920′s. Barbara took my camera and went back to her studio to create … and create she did! She brought my old camera to life with little figures to operate the machinery. As with all of Barbara’s works, she sparkles her work with her wit and animates the clay. Her work, titled “Exposures” is a creation of acrylic painted clay. Her attention to detail is incredible!
