Urban and Natural landscapes | Be.Trit

Be.Trit’s love of line has led their explorations to focus on trees, root systems and how things are

connected. Tritter’s large swooping lines flow into Faubert’s 3-dimensional drawings to create

new hybrid creations that the viewer can explore and immerse themselves in. Be.Trit shares much

common ground as both of their practices rely heaving on notions of Placemaking, which for them

is the creation of a special intervention to affirm specific meanings, always leaving room for further

critique and confirmation as the context shifts. It is embedded in the process of doing and is driven

by what impresses, excites, saddens, fulfills, or otherwise provokes them. It is about the critical

capacity of this process to confirm and interrogate the place-becoming. Most importantly for their

practice, placemaking is a dialogic space where the people-in-place construct meaning. The flow

which occurs between the two results in a final synthesis which ignites curiosity, flares insight and

sparks criticality offering reflection on the place created building on its character and constructing

a new identity. It is a place of transition where usual boundaries of thought, self-understanding,

and behavior shift, opening the way to something new.
