Barbara Campbell

"In her new project, ex avibus [Latin: from the birds], Barbara Campbell has researched and experimented with various ideas of performance. She has witnessed and recorded acts of science and conservation in the field of bird study; she has attended the auditing of a bird collection; and she has been swept up by the enthusiasm of bird waters in far flung places. In the private space of the studio, she's created videos, drawings and watercolours, and now she brings all these events into the gallery and museum space." Katrina Liberiou, exhibition catalogue 2015
