Becky Beasley is interested in how one inhabits and exists within space and environments. Historical research and literature, specifically the writings of Herman Melville, William Faulkner and Thomas Bernard, form the spine of Beasley’s artistic practice. She extracts fragments, visual ‘images’ from her literary sources – by nature non-visual – articulating them through the forms of sculpture, installation, text and photography. Beasley can extrapolate the politics of the everyday and the limits of language from her literary references, investigating the complexities and ambiguities, transparencies and opacities that form the human and its experiences.
