Dylan Beckman is an artist from Houston, TX. She makes objects based on unreliable memories and early experiences with moral instruction, as well as found imagery and archival research. She places these fabrications within photographic compositions that speak to desires for control and manipulation. Through sculpture and photography, she probes at the various ways that fun and play are mobilized to lure and distract, persuade and coerce. Her work is situated in the intertwined nature of instruction, allegory and the infinite interpretations of what it means to ‘believe’. She received her BA from Wesleyan University in 2017 and her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2022. She is currently based in Charleston, SC where she teaches photography at the College of Charleston and Trident Technical College.
