HIL BARNES

 In 2020 I completed a Masters degree in Printmaking at Middlesex University,  I work mainly with etching, preferring monochromatic prints and stark images, influenced by the masters of the art, both historical and current. ​My interest in architecture, background in photography, involvement in housing campaigns and community activism from the 1970’s to the present time are reflected in much of my work.
From the destruction of serviceable buildings,  as depicted in the 'Regeneration' series, through to landscapes views of the changing city, 'Time the Devourer', where modern offices tower above ancient churches and pockets of housing .I have explored my ancestors, bringing them back to life with the help of family albums, and my own family in a series of irreverent and revealing images, 'Siblings' and 'The Family'.
While I have a very specific method of working, I prefer to focus on different subjects as they present themselves with no discernable theme,
and currently I am attracted to tractors.
