About this event
Join artist Join artists Lucia Beijlsmit and Aaron McPeake for a tour of the Beyond the Visual exhibition.
Lucia Beijlsmit was born in Amsterdam and raised in Holland. She lives in Spain where she formed her identity as a sculptor and stone carver. Beijlsmit enjoys experimenting with straight lines and curves, equilibrium, openings and cavities. Her work emphasises asymmetry and the contrast between colours and surface before and after carving and polishing.
Aaron McPeake is a sculptor and filmmaker with sound at the centre of his practice. He is registered blind, and his sculptural works are designed to be physically interacted with, creating multisensory engagements. He has exhibited widely internationally and completed many public sculpture commissions. He teaches at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and is Co-Investigator on the AHRC-funded project Beyond the Visual: Blindness and expanded sculpture.
