RHONDA DEE

Rhonda Dee
ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dee captures the intangible force of potential and makes it visible. Subject to the inexorable creative power of personal metamorphosis, her bodies are caught in a constant state of flux. Dee’s paintings make static a fleeting instant in a perpetual cycle of transformation, as what she calls the “internal geography” of shifting individual identity seeps through the fragile membrane dividing interior from exterior and is mapped across the body.
- Tracey Clement, 2009

Artist Statement
We are all migrants continually traversing not only the spatial boundaries of continents and culture, but also the subcutaneous, internal, geographies of body, emotion, and psyche. I am interested in the body as a site of transformation and how the construction/deconstruction of identity shapes us.
- Rhonda Dee
