Gabriele Beveridge's "Three Bodies" features three glass forms with a smooth, organic shape and a gradient of clear to rich red hues, mounted on sleek metal brackets. The sculpture suggests fluidity and transformation, reminiscent of bodily forms or cosmetic enhancements. Beveridge’s signature technique involves incorporating materials linked to beauty and commerce, creating a dialogue between natural forms and consumer culture. This piece reflects her ongoing exploration of display and presentation as commentary on societal beauty standards. ...
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.
