In Barry’s Assemblages, the world doesn’t end — it transforms.
These monumental constructions reclaim cast-off objects, salvaged memories, and fleeting moments, fusing them into raw, resonant forms. Each piece is a negotiation between destruction and creation, past and future, reverence and rebellion.

Nothing here is random. A shattered keyboard becomes a warning. A comic book relic nods to a personal history. Forgotten blueprints, family artifacts, abandoned tools—all find new life in compositions that are both deeply personal and powerfully universal.

The works bend the traditions of fine art, collage, sculpture, and storytelling into a new, singular language. This is not nostalgia. It’s survival. It’s the instinct to gather what matters, to stitch broken worlds together, and to leave behind something more meaningful than what was found.

Whether confronting technological decay (Your Internet Addiction Makes You Ugly), grappling with cultural contradictions (Words With Friends), or rebuilding hope from collapse (Gimme Shelter), Barry’s Assemblages invite viewers to look closer—and feel the tension between chaos and coherence for themselves.

This is art built from the wreckage of the everyday, carried by memory, sharpened by wit, and stitched together with the irrepressible human will to create.
