Chloe Beddow

Chole Beddow's work engages with the politics and poetics of space, examining how it can be both freeing and restrictive, and how it relates to accessibility. Beddow is curious about who the world is designed, built and decorated for, and the ways in which this can result in a lack of functionality, leading to the invisibility of certain people in specific spaces. Through this exploration, Beddow focus' is on how absence is perceived, using the duality of material and painting to highlight the presence of women in the constructed world.  While her practice is grounded within painting, she uses varying materials and processes to create fabricated objects that exist within the parameters of both painting and sculpture.
