Norm Barney
My work may be humorous, serious, or both in intent. Social commentary and environmental issues are the most common thematic streams that develop out of my art practice. I frequently recycle materials and found objects putting them into a new context so that their original meaning takes on a different spin. Viewers of my work who have an ironic or satiric bent of mind will find depth and amusement in the layers of meaning in my art pieces.
