RODNEY JAMES ALEXANDER
The interconnectedness of life, from the smallest petal to the vastness of the cosmos.
Lucent.
Sinew connective tissue supports, connects, and strengthens the structure of living beings, much like petals do for the flower. Through my art, I aim to assimilate these ideas—the petal's nurturing role, the sinew's support, and how these reflect a much broader connection that binds all things in the universe.
Coruscant.
The physics of light transmission, reflection and refraction. Using layers of translucent oil glazes, he mimics the way light penetrates delicate materials, scattering and bending as it interacts with different densities and textures. His work aims to recreate the optical effects of light passing through gossamer fabrics and flora, offering a meditation on the nature of perception.
