16” x 14” x 21”, from the ‘Folded and Layered’ series.

Barry's work is also on view at The Drawing Room in the exhibition Sanctuary, now through March 8th.  This was a locals-only open call exploring the meaning of sanctuary in the San Francisco Bay Area. Historically a refuge for many marginalized communities, the concept of sanctuary has been challenged and fractured in our current political climate. Curated by Courtney Norris and Renee DeCarlo, the exhibition invites artists to define and create sanctuary in all its forms - spatial, spiritual, and political. Barry Beach’s work reflects on the historical use of mountainous terrain as places of refuge, engaging viewers in a meditation on landscape and shelter.

Exhibition dates: January 17 – March 8, 2026
Location: The Drawing Room, 599 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA
