"In the 1988–89 series
Untitled, she began to explore questions
of photographic abstraction, mixing painting reminiscent of Op art and
preexisting photographs into her images. In
Ground (1992–97) and
Field
(1995), she introduced the imagery for which she has become known:
blurry backgrounds created by focusing her camera on empty foregrounds.
Ground
was exhibited site-specifically (in a Los Angeles
house-turned-gallery), and much of Barth’s subsequent work has engaged
the notion of the photographic environment as opposed to the
photographic subject...Barth extends her exploration of light and the nature of vision in
photographs that capture the natural sheens, glares, and shadows that
travel daily through our everyday habitats."
