Recent exhibitions include IDYLL at Page Galleries, Wellington (2022); Iteration 14 at MOTHERMOTHER, Auckland (2022); UNSEEN at The Tuesday Club, Auckland (2022); Caught up in Circles at Föenander Galleries, Auckland (2021) and Spaces of Synchronicity at Malcolm Smith Gallery, Auckland (2021). Beeche’s paintings emerge through a process of extracting poetic moments from historical image archives interwoven with Beeche’s personal memories and imaginings. Often reflecting the artist’s own Scandinavian heritage, the works are imbued with a nostalgic longing. www.toribeeche.com
