About Keron Beattie
My overarching interest is in fragmentation, remaking and wholeness and the potential of materials to change or transform .
I prefer to use found and recycled objects and these are generally worked by hand using traditional tools and techniques. The slower process of hand working encourages a way of seeing and then re-seeing the materials and allows new ideas and forms to emerge in a dialogue with the materials.
I am also interested in understanding how traditional jewellery making materials, processes and forms can inform and influence my small sculptural works
