Keeara Rhoades

Keeara's recent works analyze metaphoric constructs relative to the human condition. By juxtaposing artificial constructs with authentic representations, she hope to access the space between two points of contention. This space is where unconscious experience thrives. Her explorations manifest themselves through imagery, sound, video, sculptures, and installations; peering through the corners and edges of experience, experientially, her works find a place cannot be expressed by words but only through stillness and attention.

Keeara received her BA from Chadron State College in English Journalism and Graphic Art, a BFA from Indiana University in Photography and an MFA in Photography from the University of Washington. She has received numerous scholarship and awards and has exhibited extensively, most recently in a site-specific installation at the Moore Theater's Inside Out. Keeara is currently is a lecturer of photography at UW, and has taught as adjunct professor at the Intl Academy of Design and Technology, Herron School of Art ,and Center Academy.
