Exhibition Overview

Investigating the capacity of photographic portraiture to link the interiors of people and place, Rhodes seeks to reveal what is not easily seen with the eye. In A Surrounded Beauty, she captures a seeming variety of subjects, seeking out each person’s aura to explore lived experiences of isolation – Tasmania’s ‘islandness’.

Rhodes is interested in ‘atmosphere’, the in-between that mediates between an environment and the bodily feeling of being in that environment. With her camera she traces the atmosphere of place through narrative, telling stories dependent on sensory rather than cognitive perception, drawing our attention to place and how it shapes who we are.
