Summary
Barth works in extended series over a number of years. These have genericitles which reveal the rationale behind her work. "Ground", used since 1994,xplores backgrounds without the figures normally associated with pictorialomposition. "Field", the title for many images of urban and naturalnvironments since 1995, suggests an environment freed of its limits, andlso recalls a term used in painting, such as "colour field". "Nowhere Near", title used since 1999, suggests the movement in and out of focus, conveyingoth distance and closeness, that characterizes Barth's work. It alsouggests the "in-between" place that is evoked by these extraordinary imageshat take us momentarily outside our habitual perception of the things arounds.
