Listening to Time presents a mini-retrospective of artist Barbara Moon Boertzel’s pages, books, and slow-stitched textiles, showcasing both the breadth of her creative practice and her enduring exploration of time. Created from materials including handmade paper crafted from natural fibers, hand-dyed thread, and cloth, each work captures a moment that drew the artist’s attention. Through delicate stitched marks and painterly imagery, Boertzel invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time, the act of observation, and the memories embedded within everyday experiences.
