Beverly Rayner's inventive and eclectic photography based mixed-media objects peer into the workings of human nature, map the mechanisms of perception and memory, and explore how scientific pursuits, such as genetic research, illuminate human thought processes.

Rayner works with the photographic forms that suit her needs, ranging from photos printed on vellum, gelatin silver prints, color photos, vintage photos, and even x-rays. In her unique approach, these images are incorporated into constructions that she builds from a wide repertoire of materials.

Everyday and unusual objects, lab ware, paper, beeswax, wood, glass, metal, fabric, and more, find their way into her artworks. Rayner acts as a behavioral pseudo-scientist, observing and interpreting everyday experience through the lens of her art, giving tangible form to the psychological wiring of the human mind. The results of Rayner’s “experiments” are thought provoking and surprising, inviting close inspection and engaging the viewer’s curiosity.

Beverly Rayner's work is in the collections of the Berkeley Art Museum, California, the Oakland Museum of California, and the San Jose Museum of Art, California. She is the recipient of a Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship, Santa Cruz, California.
