"Cords X" by Gabriele Beveridge is a sculpture featuring intertwined, elongated glass forms in pastel pink and blue. The shapes are fluid and organic, reminiscent of abstract figures embracing or dancing. The use of translucent glass creates a play of light and shadow, emphasizing the delicate balance and elegance of the composition. Beveridge employs a minimalistic style with a focus on fluidity and interaction, reflecting themes of presentation and the commercialization of beauty. This work draws on Beveridge's interest in materials from commercial environments, inviting reflection on the interplay between our surfaces and societal ideals. ...
Beveridge’s materials frequently derive from commerce sites, particularly those where we prepare and process our bodies or, more accurately, where we pay others to perform labour on our surfaces. Display and presentation are persistent themes throughout the practice. Beveridge includes found photographic imagery, cropped posters and promotional material found in hair and nail salons, alongside photograms, glass and other natural materials.
