Elizabeth Johnson interviews painter Barbara Friedman on the occasion of her exhibition Decollation at Buddy Warren Gallery, New York, on view through June 26, 0216.
Freidman comments: "more often lately, I put one foot in front of the other through a progression of images. What’s interesting to me is that pathways of decision converge or diverge under no set pattern. I see painting motifs as having certain similarities or ;family resemblances', such that two might look alike or function alike yet there are always inconsistencies in function or appearance... It’s sort of like the old game of Telephone, or a visual version of it."
