[Excerpt from Foreword] In my childhood, finding a crystal of quartz or any other stone ranked high alongside finding a fossil for the sense of wonder and delight it engendered in me. I was enthralled with the perfection, the transformation and the idea that the processes which created the crystal were also the forces that formed the world. I knew that special conditions of pressure and heat had to exist before a crystal would grow. Looking into the transparent quartz and seeing the ghostly snowy outlines of smaller crystals within its glassy form was mesmerising, an enjoyment beyond the visual, as I invented in my mind the fantastic environment of its formation. When I learnt that I could create my own crystals by super-saturating sugar in water I was delighted by the perfect geometric forms that arrived like magic on the string dangled into the solution. I relate these early experiences as when I look at Brace Beasley's sculptures I feet we must share the same enthusiasm for perfect natural forms. However, unlike me, Beasley hasgone on to try and orchestrate those formal elements to control the responses he gets from the shape, line, volume and intersections of the crystalline formations of his own invention. This is of course a simplistic link but most of the power of sculpture resides in the emotional response to the object. By setting himself the limitations of the cube and its extensions,Beasley has allied himself to the classical early Modernists and there are numerous parallels that can be drawn with the architecture, sculpture and painting of that period. However, Beasley also ensures that the energy and emotional intensity of the romantic traditions overlays the classical foundations of his visual grammar. So with Beasley you won't find the grid and isolated squares of Mondrian. He makes his forms fall out of the grid, teeter precariously just in balance or climb upwards and soar out, suffused with patinas whose colours morph from red to green, yellow to blue, intensifying the feelings generated by the forms on their own.
