Gabriele Beveridge's "Three Bodies" sculpture features three glass forms with gradients of deep red blending into translucent white, arranged vertically and supported by sleek metallic brackets. The organic, teardrop shapes suggest a connection to the human form, while the industrial materials convey a juxtaposition of natural and man-made elements. The minimalist style highlights the tactile interplay of color and reflection. Beveridge's work often explores themes of display and presentation, drawing from commercial aesthetics to question how bodies are curated and commodified in modern culture. ...
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.
