Stairway To Heaven
Barbara Long is a mender and re-maker, explores relationship with home and what we choose to save or discard.
British-born artist and art therapist Barbara Long, who has lived in Spain for the past 31 years, will debut in London in March 2025 at Ruup & Form.
Long describes herself as a mender and re-maker, utilising old domestic materials such as cleaning cloths and electric wires to craft large immersive installations and small objects that reflect the flux of life. Her work, which draws on domestic processes like weaving, stitching, darning, binding, repairing, and dyeing, delves into our relationship with the concept of home and questions what we choose to save or discard, both materially and psychologically.
In March 2025, Long will take over the space at Ruup & Form's gallery with one of her extensive sprawling installations, complemented by a selection of her smaller textile works.
