Keron Beattie

Keron is an artist living and working in North Norfolk. He has a First Class Honours Degree in Contemporary Art and Design (2013) and an MA (with Distinction) in Fine Art (2018)

My work is concerned with 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 the passing of time recorded in the objects themselves, and through my interventions.

Working to a domestic scale encourages my work to be looked at carefully and to find a place in the home as well as the gallery.
