The Hand is Pinker than the Eye
Jonathan Hopson Gallery, 2024
Excerpt from “The Hand is Pinker than the Eye” by Doug Welsh
In The Hand is Pinker than the Eye, Rodda “explores deliberate and incidental mark-making within gestural paintings and salvaged foam fragments to dismantle notions of hierarchy across media, process, and genre…. Despite all efforts to democratize the visual arts and do away with age-old hierarchies, painting remains one of the most revered, collected, and valued forms of art. Decentering this dominant form of art requires each of us to consider our own biases, which I am reminded of with this exhibition.”
