As part of this “at home” residency, Barney will share his artistic process in both his studio in Petrolia and in his summer studio on Manitoulin Island.
He will share his approach as he finds new art materials, maintains his gardens, and walks with his digs in the forest and along the shores of Windfall Lake.
He will also interact with others artists who will visit the Manitoulin and Petrolia sites.
“Art, as a way of life, links a person to their environment – to others, to nature, to places, to the past and to the present,” Barney said in a release.
“The artistic way of life is a daily enactment of the personal with the world at large. Observation and awareness are paramount in this committed lifestyle.”
His themes are based on cultural stereotypes, kitsch, nostalgia, and tourism. His work consists of wall-hung and free-standing assemblages and paintings.
His recent acrylic paintings use the odd interactions of bright color, texture, pattern, collaged fabrics, found objects and shine by the addition of mirror paint, glitter, and bling.
“Continuing with his theme of cultural stereotypes, he also has been working with installation, using found objects, kitsch, memorabilia, and furniture,” the release said.
“His work is a sophisticated form of outsider art or art singular. Norman is also a member of an art singular group called Remix Collective.”

Barney’s show runs through to October.
