Sarah Rhodes: Online Exhibition | A Surrounded Beauty

Sarah Rhodes is a photographic artist using a post-documentary practice to explore ways in which the natural environment shapes one's inner world. Living and working on lutruwita Tasmania, her focus is on how people are entwined with place, and key themes of isolation and connection, self-containment, and belonging. A Surrounded Beauty looks at how portraiture evokes islandness as a way of understanding our connection with and belonging to the world. 

 

A Surrounded Beauty draws on the continual dialogue between person and place, highlighting the parallel between the geographic and emotional self. This has become the foundation for new work being made for the Australian pavilion exhibition, Unsettling Queenstown, at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023.
