About

Roger Barton’s recent work uses electrolysis to grow fragile copper sculptures onto wax moulds, creating thin foils that register touch, damage and transformation.

The practice circles questions of attention, boredom and technology: how focus is caught, how distraction becomes productive or exploitative, and how industrial processes can leave intimate, bodily traces.

Works from 2025-2026 include grown-copper sculptures, framed mixed-media objects, photographic translations and intaglio prints made from the copper anode plates used in the production process.
