Rebekah Beasley is a freelance artist based at Islington Mill, Salford, and co-director of artist-led organisation Short Supply. She has been working as an artist within Greater Manchester since 2016, often exploring the themes of bodies, gender and sexuality through fantasy and narration using the mediums of collage, fibre, print and sculpture.

More recent works play on ideas she’s been simmering over for too long, movement, wearability, and the performance in process. A motto she is starting to live by is “Sometimes it takes more energy doubting yourself than it does to just do the thing. So just do it.”
