Barbara Keal

Barbara’s hats have a transformative effect on anyone who wears them – the wearer becomes an every day live art work within the public realm. Her dream is for the hats to affect as many people as possible, documenting each one as they form their own unique global community of creatures. 

A graduate of Fine Art BA (Hons) at Wimbledon School of Art 2003, she has since worked on a variety of performance based projects involving and influenced by diverse methods and concepts such as felt, ceramics, song and the role of the individual in a group. Since her debut at Origin 2010, Barbara has gone from strength to strength with interest from individuals, boutiques and costumiers.
