In 2008, Beasley began sculpting a new series of intersecting stainless steel disks. One of this series, commissioned by the Chinese government for the Beijing Summer Olympics, is 15 feet tall and remains permanently installed as part of the Beijing Olympic Park. The Expo 2010 in Shanghai also commissioned a large sculpture in this series for permanent installation.


Beasley’s early approach of working with found object assemblage still remains with him today. “I do not see finished sculptures in my head”, says Beasley.


“I need to try many possibilities


to find a first ‘heart beat’ of feeling. Then the sculpture beckons to me and my job is to follow it. Sometimes I find it and sometimes I don’t. It is the exploration of finding human emotions in the arrangement of shapes that is the really exciting part. Having a sculpture at the end is the result, not the goal.”
