LEE GALLERY
Kim Beck works in a range of media such as drawing, print and installation to survey architecture and landscape. Meditations on weeded lots, street signs, gas station banners, pieces of lawn and sidewalk urge a reconsideration of the built environment, bringing the banal and everyday into focus. Drawings made from flocked cutouts, images of cell towers, billboards, trees and found sawhorses, ladders, create a fractured landscape in a continuous state of flux: growing and collapsing, caught forever in a state of becoming. In large works on paper, lines drawn with charcoal and paper cutouts form piles of lumber, ladders, windows, and structural beams. The scale of the drawings invites viewers to imagine themselves entering a construction site, but one that is unstable. Impossible spaces suggest endless additions and subtractions. The simultaneous building and destroying of the images suggest an underlying destruction and its opposite.
