The Angelus Novus, pushed backwards by the storm of progress, watches as detritus piles up in its wake;

you can find Beatrice there, in a hazmat suit, picking through the rubble. 

 

Beatrice von Rague Schleyer (b. 1985, Nyack, NY) is an artist working primarily in sculpture and photography. Her work denaturalizes the boundary between body and machine, raising questions about agency and intersubjectivity. It offers a pause - a moment to digest the collaboration between humans and technology. 

 

 

She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts and is an MFA candidate in art at UC Irvine.
