Rhoda Juels
Feminist Assemblage Artist
My philosophy and my artwork are inexorably
intertwined in that the work highlights themes revolving around
the achievements, and alternatively the global oppression of
women throughout history. My current work takes the form of three-dimensional
weatherproof assemblages and two-dimensional wall assemblages.
The weatherproof work is installed in a Sacred Circle, an outdoor
environment that I have developed adjacent to my home.
The pieces are constructed of brass mesh,
beads, artifacts, fibers, found objects, and metal, which I form
and assemble using sewing techniques and glue. I hope to catch
the viewer's eye with the allure of beautiful materials and coax
the observer into thoughtful contemplation concerning the issues
in my heart and in my vision.
