The work of Michael Barnes addresses, in part, the destructive nature and absurdities that so readily prevail for humankind as it copes with the perpetual daily routine and environment. Various themes of mortality and the philosophical questions of existence in general thread their way through his series of works. The images are concerned with environment, politics, social decay leaning towards an inward and isolated path, and cynicism about the historical evolution of so-called civilization and its effects upon the world and its inhabitants.
