Glenys Barton

I have been researching the early work of Glenys Barton in relation to my project “To Sense My Space”. Barton's work is very geometric and has a strong emphasis on line and colour. She uses the basic geometric shapes and designs to create these very precise and mathematical sculptures. 



As can be seen from the photo above the designs are not arbitrary decoration but rather well thought out and carefully planned. We can see that when arranged in certain ways the designs join up to create new patterns.

The composition of this sculpture is very interesting. While the individual pieces are very precise and mathematical the artist has chosen to arrange the sculpture in a less structured fashion. This contrast between precision and disorder is very interesting.
