Noah Beckham BFA Painting Thesis Spring 2021
“I am working with rope until it dissolves from my hands. (Rope) like a wild animal trapped; has bitten and gouged its leg free from a fixed tactility. Then it escaped into the thicket of multiple tactile experiences to survive decomposition and destruction.”
This spring’s 2021 installation by Noah Beckham, Where the Rope Lays :a spectacle, consists of: rope, sculpture, paper, tape transfers, painting, drawing, and poetry. The complete works are gathered in the B10 gallery and on Instagram (@wheretheropelays). The spectacle is a visual illustration of my understanding of Hyperobject and Subcendence. The later term implies a transformation in between dimensions and perceptible experiences. Grab a hold of this rope life line or you too will fall into the force of subscendence.
