Gabriele Beveridge's "Cords X" is a delicate sculpture featuring intertwining forms of pale pink and translucent teal glass, creating a fluid, organic composition. The piece suggests the elegance and tension of bodily forms without explicit representation. Its style, a blend of minimalism and surrealism, uses smooth, reflective surfaces to evoke a serene yet dynamic presence. Beveridge's work often explores themes of display and beauty, drawing materials from commercial sites, offering a critique of consumer culture and its influence on body image and aesthetics. ...
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.
