Beckett Brueggemann is a fiber and sculpture artist. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and his Masters of Art in Teaching for Art Education at Tufts University. He is a multimedia artist, and his work explores the role of narrative in his creative process and world-making. His work also explores themes of astrophysics as black holes form in the rips in fabric and alternate dimensions become accessible through puddles. His stories manifest through fibers and technology as he seeks a space for creation, comfort, and healing escapism.
Artist statement
Exploring the role of narrative and world-making in my creative process, I am interested in soft escapism and the slowness that creates space for healing, comfort, and care. I find myself submerged in multimedia making: wire-wrapping and beading with both gravel and crystals, navigating glitch digital-editing techniques as I explore pot-holes and the disintegrating landscape through interactive installations. I explore the intersections of language between craft and the ways in which we describe our universe. Astrophysics fascinates me, and craft is so extraordinary in its everyday-ness. I take these words (fabric of the universe, black holes, warping of space/time) and I extrapolate narratives, creating the remnants of these stories. Holes in socks become black holes in the space time continuum, puddles become portals, and I become a traveler exploring this otherworldly “Somewhere.” These imagined spaces are left behind in artifacts in little stars transformed into physical adornments.
