This abstract artwork features a striking composition of black and white tones. The central element is a swirling, ghostly form that appears to be a wave or explosion of water, captured in a moment of dynamic movement. The overall impression is one of energy, tension, and a sense of the ephemeral nature of form. The artist has employed photographic techniques to create this ethereal, almost sculptural image, playing with light, shadow, and the inherent qualities of the medium. The artwork invites the viewer to ponder the relationship between the physical and the ephemeral, and the ways in which the camera can freeze and transform the natural world. ...
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.
