Featured Artist

My creative focus is an enquiry of the body and human condition. I have a particular fascination with the skin, which I see as an interface between the person within and the world around us.

Barbara Beyer works with elementary materials and engages a great variety of working processes. She examines themes of change, balance, weight, motion and form in a dialogue of controlled sculptural interventions and provoked and invited accidents and interferences.

I am practising artist and academic researcher; my work is situated in and engages with drawing as a methodology to explore and challenge sculpture and installation as speculation and artefact.

My work delves into the understanding of identity, as body and place within various dissonant spaces.

In my practice I use the cognitive associations that occur in the materiality of photographic processes, moving image and installation to explore notions of memory, imagination, analysis, poetics, stillness and movement.
