“Nature arrives at this perfect point between change and stillness, between form that is evolving and form that is complete; nature does this most easily and with rare mistakes. Nature remains the ideal guide and the great resource; without it, there is no warmth, no heart and I insist that my work have both.” –Bruce Beasley

“These sculptures reconcile the apparent contradictions of the tectonic and the organic, the constructed and the evolved, the planned and the accidental. Nevertheless they are neither representative nor narrative, but first and foremost, pure form.” — Susanne Horst-Steppart
