Work

Bloom is a visual artist whose conceptual practice relies mainly on photography and installation. Beginning in the 1970s, Bloom has created work in a variety of different mediums including photography, installation, film, and books.{{Cite journal|url=https://frieze.com/article/artist-project-barbara-bloom|title=Artist Project: Barbara Bloom|journal=Frieze|date=April 2011 |issue=138 |language=en|access-date=2017-04-11 |last1=Tallman |first1=Susan }}

In conversation with Susan Tallman, Barbara Bloom has referred to herself as a “novelist who somehow ended up in a ‘visual artist’ queue”.Susan Tallman, The Collections of Barbara Bloom, 2008, p.183

Bloom has often compared herself, and the viewer of her work, to a 'detective'Vicky A. Clark, [http://collections.si.edu/search/record/siris_sil_989493 "Never Odd or Even"], 1992 who is confronted with disparate clues and is asked to form some kind of visual narrative. Her work is often about the nature of looking. She engages her viewer, seducing him/her into a beautifully constructed visual world, one that is underlaid by subversive wrenches thrown in.

Bloom has an ongoing interest in the value and meaning we collectively and individually bestow upon objects and images. She has not been concerned with showing single objects or images, rather with highlighting the relationships between them, and the meanings implicit in their placement and combination. The objects are placeholders for thoughts, and when they are situated in proximity to one another, meanings can reverberate and ricochet off of each other. Additionally, Bloom states in an artist's statement that her

"fascination is with the relationships between objects or images—and the meanings implicit in their placement and combination."{{cite web|title=Barbara Bloom|url=http://www.foundationforcontemporaryarts.org/recipients/barbara-bloom|website=Foundation for Contemporary Arts|accessdate=12 April 2016}}

Bloom's use of shadows, traces, Braille, broken objects, partially-obstructed images,{{Cite web|url=http://davidlewisgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/BB_Art-in-America_November-2018-2.pdf|title=Riddles for Minds and Bodies|last=Gilsdorf|first=Bean|date=November 2018|website=David Lewis Gallery|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} watermarks, and micro-images all demonstrate an ongoing interest in visualizing the fragile workings of memory, the invisible, the ephemeral, and the absent. These “aesthetic underdogs, sheltered under Bloom’s wing [...] provide yet another lens for looking at how we seek value in objects and why.”

“During the last year, I produced and exhibited a work titled The Weather... In this work, hovering in varying heights above the floor are carpets, each a subtle shade of gray-green-blue. The carpets have raised-dot patterns forming texts in Braille... The production of the carpets was a complex one, and it was not easy to find a manufacturer able to accurately produce the intricate patterns of raised dots. Working with Classic Rug Collections in New York, a factory in Thailand was found that could produce the work perfectly. ”{{Cite web|title=Barbara Bloom :: Foundation for Contemporary Arts|url=https://www.foundationforcontemporaryarts.org/recipients/barbara-bloom|access-date=2020-10-12|website=www.foundationforcontemporaryarts.org}} (Bloom on her artistic process of creating The Weather)
