about

Rhoads continuously illustrates a psychedelic wonderland, drawing from subconscious impulse and immediate expression. She translates the rich, phantasmagorical compositions she creates into playful and contemporary textiles, with the intent of assimilating the experience of collecting clothing to that of collecting artwork.

Taking inspiration from social and historical means to express an inner world such as ancient cave drawings, street art, childhood art practices, she documents thought visually through dynamic mark-making and designs through a spontaneous, playful and experimental process.

Rhoads expresses an affinity for horror vacui and overwhelming intricacy through detailed line work, which is often embedded with enigmatic faces and symbols.
