Career

Barry had an artist residency at the Kennedy Space Center in 2008, "during which she shot a film in zero gravity".[5][7] Barry's series of polished aluminium sculptures, Weapons of Mass Consumption, was selected by critic Cristín Leach for the broadcaster RTÉ's series of website articles titled 21st Century Ireland in 21 Artworks.[7]

On 21 December 2021, she broadcast a collaborative sound piece on the Irish national television network RTÉ, titled Oblivion / Seachmalltacht / ᖃᐅᔨᒪᔭᐅᔪᓐᓃᖅᑐᑦ  (the title consists of words in English, Irish, and an Inuit language called Inuktitut). This was part of a solo exhibition of her work at the Limerick Gallery of Art and commissioned by the Irish Traditional Music Archive.[8][9]

Barry released a black and white, stop motion film about the history of Kaunas, Lithuania and its architecture, titled Klostes.[10][11] It debuted as part of the Kaunas 2022 The European Capital of Culture. She designed a postage stamp for An Post in 2022.[12]
