Rebecca Beardmore’s works are situated very much on the boundaries of perception, having a fugitive presence that is almost an absence, in which the viewer is partially reflected – setting up a provocative and shifting relationship between the artist, the work, its meaning, and the viewer. Her work plays on the limitations of visual experience, setting up a subtle interplay between image, text, and material surface where each layer is presented with such fragility that they cannot be collectively discerned.
