In 2013 Bartow wrote this statement about masks:
"After the events of the last year and the demands of the Smithsonian commission, shapes are in my dreams! I have long been aware of the power of the mask and am intrigued by the fact that no one can figure out why they are so powerful! Mystery is the basic ingredient; a Balinese carver commented on masks created for sale as opposed to ceremonial masks - his comment was that if you build a house someone will move in!"
