Barbara Horiuchi is a California-born third generation Japanese-American, a Sansei. In her current art she explores the repercussions of trauma born from issues of injustice. This examination wells from personal familial experiences; immigration, the historic internment experience of Japanese-Americans during WWII, marginalization, loss, and attempts at recovery. The information processed from these experiences was passed to her by a culturally-influenced, verbal and visual language which often was not articulated directly but indirectly expressed. This information informs her work and shapes the manner in which it is conceived, constructed and created.
