Beka Brayer

Bio: Assemblage is a process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is created by combining found objects to form a sculptural artistic representation. It is the creative process of reinventing, reusing and most importantly recycling neglected and or discarded objects in a stimulating and thought provoking way. Beka has always admired the beauty found in the natural aging process of abandoned and discarded objects. Imperfection has always intrigued her as she goes through life trying to glean beauty from those things that may be seen as old, damaged or valueless. Objects have been acquired all over the world and have been collected for over 40 years. Her treasure hunting includes places like Africa, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Mexico, Samoa, Bali, and South America, to name a few. Every piece embodies a specific destination and with it comes a representation that captures a significant moment in time.
