Michael Beatty: Fabrications
Selected works from 1992 to present
January 21-April 9, 2025
Associate Professor Emeritus Michael Beatty taught sculpture and three-dimensional design at Holy Cross for 25 years before retiring in 2023. This retrospective exhibition celebrating his sculptural practice investigates duality and hierarchy as a dialogue between technology-assisted and handmade forms. Beatty’s work, inclusive of prints and drawings, is informed by concepts and visual culture taken from science, nature, and mathematics. Beatty’s sculptures and drawings are evocative hybrids of geometry and biological form.
