About Karin Barr

Karin Barr is a German-born sculptor based in rural Waikato. Working from her studio on a farm in Tauhei, she creates glass sculptures that explore contrast, light and colour through simple forms and bold lines influenced by the Bauhaus movement.

Barr moved to Waikato in 1994 and discovered a passion for stone carving at the 2003 Matamata Sculpture Symposium. She later expanded her practice into glass casting, studying at Art Station in Auckland and attending international masterclasses to refine her skills.

Her installations often respond to specific sites and environmental themes. She exhibits regularly in New Zealand, Australia and Germany, and her work is held in The Arts House Trust collection and private collections around the world.
