Here’s to you, Barbara Robinson, for grabbing our attention and engaging us as viewers directly. From your open return of our gaze and your brilliant blue wide-brimmed hat to the cross-hatched imastoed composition from which your image is constructed, you demand that you be looked at and that your story be told. Yours is certainly a story in search of its narrator. Viewer, that’s your cue.
