Working with industrial processes and forms, Beveridge’s recent experiments with handblown glass and synthetic hair mobilise colour as a material force rather than a symbolic device, intensifying sensory perception and registering states of transformation. Her palette of soft pastels, iridescent hues and translucent layering evoke membranes, veins or semi-permeable skins. These chromatic decisions function metaphysically, drawing attention to thresholds between organic and synthetic, interior and exterior; probing how desire, identity and corporeality emerge through stressed material and speculative processes.
