Beverly Tadeu

Formerly trained in sculpture and lithography, it was during her years of living abroad in Latin America that Tadeu was first captivated by the sensuous joys of forming and forging metal.

The architectural shapes of her Abacus series, originally based on Fibonacci's theorem, morphed into their own rhythmic structures.  The playful, dancing beads in these pieces add movement and life to an otherwise static, geometrical form.

The Nature series presents metaphor and symbolism that is expressive of Tadeu's life experience.  Her Rooted series, for example, reflects her longing to be moored during many nomadic years living abroad.  "There is richness in the word root ", she muses, "both a noun and a verb, it has manifold meaning to me: anchoring, family, lineage, nourishment and growth" .  The profoundness of these  concepts inspires Beverly's sensual and earthy woven creations.
