Becky Wareing-Steele
Becky Wareing Steele is an artist living and working in Denver, Colorado specializing in small scale sculpture and public art. Her work deals with the commonalities that exist in our shared experiences through the examination of scale and environment. Through her sculptural and photographic work with 1:160 scale figures and 1:12 scale objects she explores the impact of scale and how it affects our perception of the world around us. This impact can also be found in the way we perceive ourselves in our environment.
In more recent series she has developed narrative components to accompany the works, allowing the viewer to connect with the piece on a deeper level. Using settings familiar and accessible to everyone is a key component of her work. Through this process she is able to alter the way people view everyday situations, seemingly mundane at times, and invite the viewer to think about their place in the environment by altering the scale.
Wareing Steele holds a BA in Art History from Colorado State University with a focus on Intuit Art.
