Barton’s beautiful, entirely fictional constructions are truly literary in their approach to narrative but not at all descriptive in the construction of those narratives. Her work is mysterious and unnerving due to the utter absence of people. The work is peculiarly moving in the metaphors that describe the slightly haunted world she imagines for us.

“My imaginative landscapes deal with the intersection of natural and artificial vision, the perceptual side effects of looking. I use film and medium format camera to create photographic collages. 

I recently graduated from the Glasgow School of Art, and I previously studied film in Budapest, Hungary.

My work might be best described with the literary term "magical realism".
