Label Textuntitled: balcony illustrates Barlow's interest in how sculpture can subvert the use of architecture as a method for expressing power. The work was inspired by traditional associations with ceremony that this architectural element invokes, as through its use by officials to address crowds from above. By shifting the scale and functionality of this form, Barlow transforms it into an absurd appendage affixed high on the wall of the gallery.
