Beauty’s interests are of the mundane and quotidian. Her practice is of repetition, rituals and rhythms. The construct of time is deeply embedded in her creative practice and process. The act itself serves as marking of presence and being present. The transitory aspect of time drives her to create by clicking, sketching, cutting, folding, stitching and moving as a means of making the moment permanent. The pieces that come out from the explorations are expressed in an interdisciplinary body of work.
