Within my site responsive drawings, installations and objects, I am fascinated with the interplay between the spatial, conceptual, and architectonic conditions of a place. Through an accumulative means of building with utilitarian materials, industrial felt, paper towels, clothing, new and used hospital and bath towels, I make structures that address mass and void, line, weight, density, compression and expansion. Within these qualities, I find parallels in the physical and psychological states of the body, and the human condition.

My name is Bethany Procopio and I am an American-born Basel-based painter.

Passionate about people, relationships and the way the world works, my practice reveals structures and raises questions concerning social, economic and ecological perspectives.

Working nationally and internationally, often with multiple project partners, I 'activate' spaces by re-appropriating waste, confronting dogmas and igniting creativity at an individual and organisational level.

My processes involve Installation, photography, moving image, print and on-line projects.
