Art “Pop-Up” in the Pavilion
Barbara Jo Borch
“Chambers“, May 30th – Aug. 30th, 2025
Born and raised in Berwyn, Illinois, Barbara Jo is a nationally recognized sculptor whose work is in numerous public and private collections including the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, The Tucson Museum of Art, the Borg Warner Corporate Collection, the Tucson Airport Authority, the City of Chandler & many more!
In her own words, “My work (Chambers) is about the connections and contrasts between nature and man. It is organic and geometric, natural and manipulated, black and white. I create organic forms that are made from man-altered wood and industrial materials…I don’t know the ultimate conclusion for this form. It unfolds and surprises me and the inherent risks reward me with something new and unexpected. I like surprises!”.
