Beatrice Modisett creates two and three-dimensional works with primarily found and biodegradable materials. Her drawings, photographs and assemblages explore the moments of overlap between human and non-human systems, her relationship to non-humancentric places, memory and (be)longing. Her imagery, process and materials contribute to the creation of meaning and all work to embody, rather than depict, terrain and all of it’s emotional and physical complexities. She lives and works in Ridgewood, Queens and is hand-building her version of utopia with her partner the percussionist Ellery Trafford on their piece of land in Upstate NY.
