Having described himself as a "classical modernist", Beasley clarifies the statement by explaining that he remains interested in the expressive nature of art. Both science and technology have been major influences on the directions his work has taken - in the choice of the structural forms he investigates and employs as well as his working materials.

The formal concepts for his works usually stem from natural sources such as the large and unusual cliff formations of Monument Valley in Arizona. Of particular interest are crystals, molecular structures or bones that stir his creative process. Based on the simplest stereometric bodies such as cubes, pillars, and columns, he creates his sculptures with combinations that are either characterized by a block-like, static unity or the quality of enveloping space in a manner that seems to defy gravity.

He began working in bronze in 1987, after earlier chapters of work in which he carefully investigated welding found metal elements, casting in aluminum, and working in Lucite to create transparent sculpture. Since the mid 1960âs, his work has been characterized by his interest in technology as well as his involvement in the arrangement of elementary structures. He has employed an advanced computer system as a tool in composing his work since 1988 which has allowed him the opportunity to view a priori the most complicated spatial developments
