Barbara Proksch (born 1943 in Berlin, living in Salching, Lower Bavaria) is a German visual artist. After having studied lettering and illustration, she first worked in graphic design and theatrical painting before in 1982 deciding to become a freelance artist, concerning herself mainly with drawing. Her works are characterized by her long-lasting fascination for letters and geometrical figures. Another thread of influence stems from her background in theatrical painting: the body language and the physical aspects of painting. From the beginning, a further aspect has drawn her attention, namely the sounds that occur while drawing and writing, and the way they influence the resulting work. She noticed that the sounds made by the tools she uses feed back into her drawing process, and that just like speech and writing - in a linguistic sense - cannot be decoupled from each other, drawing and listening cannot either: Eye and ear become partners, drawing becomes a performance with the specific tools and materials used as musical instruments. This observation has led to the development of her group of works called Opto_Phon, a name which, from the 1990s onwards, Proksch uses for performances that draw upon this synaesthetic process: Usually, Proksch works on large sheets of paper mounted like drumheads and treated with various tools (scrapers, brushes, pens, knives, twigs, etc.), the sounds amplified through contact microphones. The early Opto_Phon performances were made with herself standing in front of the paper sheets, visible to the audience while drawing. Later, she decided to stand in the back of the paper with a spotlight behind her, so that light shines through it while it is being cut and ripped. Side A of this LP contains excerpts from Opto_Phon performances, the first made in a church in Cheb, Czechia, in 2003, led by the strong echo emerging in the hall, the others recorded in her studio. They are contrasted on side B with a very different performance that is, however, conceptually related to Opto_Phon: While travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, Proksch experienced a similar synaesthetic process while listening to the repetitive rattling of the train and watching the landscape passing by. In 2010, this experience was transformed into a sound piece for amplified sewing machine. Full-color sleeve with printed inner sleeve and insert, containing images of optophonic tools and drawings, and extensive liner notes; Edition of 300.

Elegant, High-Quality Purse Perfect for Formal Events
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a large shoulder bag that ends up being the perfect size for a weekend outing or a nicer evening event. It’s made from genuine leather, and you can immediately tell from how soft it feels while still holding its shape really well.
The design is very clean and elegant. There aren’t bulky outside pockets or extra zippers, so it has a sleek look that works great for dressing up. The black leather is deep and flawless, and the gold accents add a really classy touch.
Inside, there aren’t a ton of compartments, so it’s more of a “throw everything in” type of purse. Thankfully, it’s roomy enough to comfortably fit a phone, wallet, keys, makeup, and pretty much anything else needed for a night out.
It probably isn’t specifically intended for everyday use, although it definitely could be used that way. It also comes with a storage bag, which is nice for keeping it protected in a closet between events.
For cleaning, I’d recommend using a proper leather handbag cleaner and avoiding harsh chemicals or wipes since it’s genuine leather.
My wife has gotten a lot of compliments on it because it looks beautiful and elegant, and she loves using it for nicer occasions. I’d highly recommend it for formal events or nights out.

The softest, prettiest pink ever. So finely constructed in every detail.
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I recently ordered this Kate Spade Large Leather Shoulder Bag in the Crinkle Morning Beach color, which is a very soft, mellow, light pink. Think puffy clouds dusted with the pink highlights at sunset kind of light pink. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous!
I love the smooth, simple lines of this bag and the “rocking chair” curved bottom panel. The bottom panel allows this purse to stand upright, making it easy to see into it and access the contents. It has a simple thin shoulder strap tied into a perky loop detail at the side with a little tail. Nothing fussy. Just pure simplicity and class with a flirty little flair.
As mentioned in the description, this is a large bag, 14” wide, perfect for travel or if you have more to carry on that day. It’s quite roomy inside. The zipper opens up along the entire top of the bag, making it easy to see into it and take things in and out of it. There’s an open pocket against one side and a zippered pocket against the other to keep things neatly organized and easy to find.
The construction of this bag is perfect in every detail. The leather is just exquisite. So smooth to the touch. Even the light-colored inner lining is cool and smooth. Every surface has neat topstitching in perfect, small stitches in a matching pink thread color. It has a quality zipper that zips smoothly and has a small leather pull. It seems everything about this shoulder bag provides a delightful experience in its use.

A beautiful, soft, finely finished and costly bag
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach, Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I defer to Mrs. Engineer in everything related to purses. I’ve included her comments below.
UNPACKING
The bag arrives surrounded by a thin foam pad inside a plastic bag. An unremarkable polyester storage bag (shown in a photo) is included. It comes folded in the same package as the bag.
IMPRESSIONS
The first impression the bag makes is that it's simple and beautiful and that the leather feels wonderful.
The interior has one open pouch and one with a zipper (see photos). That’s sufficient for Mrs. Engineer but some people may want more subdivisions of the interior.
The bag has top stitching everywhere. As shown in photos, there is impeccable top stitching throughout the interior and on the bottom.
The interior is light colored, a feature always desirable in a bag for ease of finding things.
The wide, flat (from front to back) bottom allows the bag to sit upright unless it’s loaded in an extremely unbalanced way. Because of the fineness of the leather, most people wouldn’t want to put it down on any flooring unless it was carpeted.
The handle is comfortable and is suitable for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carrying. The strap length can be adjusted to fit the user.
PRICE
It’s difficult to comment on the price and whether it’s a good value. Certainly all the functions of this bag, including looking elegant, can be accomplished with a bag costing a quarter as much. Whether the quality of the leather, the fineness of the finishing and the cachet of the Kate Spade brand is worth the cost of the bag depends on the eye, and the resources, of the beholder.
We received this bag at no cost through the Amazon Vine program in return for an unbiased review. For us, personally, it would not be worth its price at the time of this review, but the popularity of the brand proves that many others feel differently about it.
CONCLUSIONS
This is a beautiful and finely finished bag that we are happy to have, and there’s nothing negative to say about it. I’ve given it five stars.
