Kim Beck uses images of architecture and landscape to make drawings, prints, paintings and installations that survey peripheral spaces. Her work urges a reconsideration of the built environment – peculiar street signs, gas station banners, overgrown weeded lots and self-storage buildings – and brings the banal and everyday into focus.
