Barry's work embodies the simplicity of color and form in and through nature, reflecting both the artist's reverence for our environment and his ability to abstract the essence of gesture in natural forms using clay, recycled materials and items found in nature. These pieces were inspired by the natural textures and forms created by nature in the Highlands.

Mother Earth
I grew up in northern New Jersey on the New York State border near the base of the Ramapo Mountains with a stream a few houses down from where I lived. As children, my cousins, who lived on the same street, spent hours playing in the woods and the stream, building things with the available fallen branches and rocks and giving me an appreciation of using our natural resources responsibly. In high school, I became interested in working with wood and eventually went on to study woodworking in art school. Wood is still my primary medium, and I find the raw material for many of my sculptures from wood that I find while hiking or driving. In this area of the country, many houses are made of wood. I use the archetypal house form as a metaphor for human experiences to invoke memories that reveal themselves as profoundly personal and universally resonant.
