Barry Midgley
My sculptures are usually based on landscape themes. They often combine real and artificial elements to emphasise a narrative, and the scale of the individual parts are related to their priority within the work. Many pieces of my work are initiated by observation of weather patterns and their influence on the landscape and it's habitation. Other works are prompted by stories read or heard, which, for whatever reason and no matter how trivial, catch my attention. As these sculptures progress, I respond to their needs until they feel 'right' and there is some sense of order to their form.
