Beth Lloyd: Latest Selected Artist


In relation to Kerryannes' work, Beth explores the expression of mentality within the elegance of words. This piece deals with the understanding of Taboo, it challenges our knowledge and questions the acceptance of the mental state. The "fragility" it expresses upon first interaction is heavily juxtaposed with substance of psychological distress . An opposing piece presented the 'script' without the support of paper, the 'disintegration' of material questions the relevance of a structure. Personally, the process of removal is an indication that the remaining content is crucial, the paper wasn't of any importance because it's state isn't desired.
The narrative between Beths' work and Dales' questions the importance of a material. Both pieces deal with the challenging of a substance, how far it can be pushed. In this circumstance it enables debate. The taking away of paper Beths' work and the excessive quantity in which Dale uses could potentially create a dialogue which discusses the need for possession.

As for composing these pieces, I imagine them loosely suspended, central to the audience. The decision behind this idea is to emphasis confrontation. In the given situation the text cries out for attention. There are no distractions between its audience and the presented art. It forces the viewer to interact due to the purity of its surroundings.
