In honor of Seattle Convention Center’s recent acquisition of her work, we are delighted to offer an afternoon talk with artist Kait Rhoads.
Rhoads grew up on a ship in the Caribbean, where her deep curiosity for biological systems began. Since moving to the Northwest, her fascination has grown to include coral colonies and kelp forests. The influence of aquatic life infuses her sculptures with animated forms, sparkling surfaces, and faceted exoskeletons. By weaving together hollow murrine, slices of complex cane, Rhoads constructs complicated artworks that take months and years to create. She uses her art to engage with the public on issues of ocean ecology.
Limited spaces are available. To reserve your spot, contact Mara Vostral at Mara.Vostral@seattleconventioncenter.com. Please include your first and last name, phone number, and email address.
