Liz Rodda moves between diverse media and strategies to examine forces surrounding the contemporary body. Her videos are the result of investing found and recorded images with unintended meanings through contextual shifts. At the center of her objects and installations is a preoccupation with materials that our bodies absorb and translate. Her drawings and paintings serve as a record of unedited and bodily thinking.

Rodda’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions and screenings, notably the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, FL; Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín; David Shelton Gallery, Houston, TX; and Anthology Film Archives, NY, NY. Rodda has been an artist-in-residence at institutions such as Fountainhead, Miami, FL; Wassaic, NY; Millay Arts, NY; and La Napoule Art Foundation in Mandelieu-La-Napoule, France. She is a Professor in the School of Art and Design at Texas State University where she founded the Expanded Media area of specialization dedicated to time-based practices.
