Amy Barnes (Walters)

Amy Barnes engages with self-portraiture through a range of technologies, investigating the nuanced ways identity is constructed and perceived. Driven by experimentation and a responsive approach to space and material, her work references public expressions found in the built environment—ranging from Neolithic rock and cave art to contemporary graffiti. By employing materials that are fleeting in nature, Barnes alludes to the transient qualities of public art and the ever-evolving nature of self-representation.
