Q: Do colors stay with from your journeys, particularly to Bolivia and India? (Question from “Pastel, Passion, and Perseverance: An Interview with Barbara Rachko” in .ART Odyssey: Healing)

Sari shop window, Jaisalmer – Sadar Bazar, India

A: Yes. For Bolivia I think of red, white, and green—the colors of the flag. l even chose to use red frames as a kind of homage. For India, multi-colored patterns always come to mind because of women’s saris and white too, which Hindus wear on important occasions. Certain places attach themselves to your memory through color.
