Beryl Odette explores across a range of media her fascination with how we perceive each other. How do we learn to see -- and not to see? Her work probes the process of visual apprehension through techniques of layering and accumulation. Odette excavates and translates, pointing to that which is observed, but still unseen.  No matter the place, time or audience, beauty soothes that which enters the eye, the way a kind voice is skilled at delivering news we don’t want to hear. With formal beauty she invites your gaze to look past, offering up feelings we are less comfortable naming.
