Kait Rhoads
Kait Rhoads uses traditional Italian patterning technique of murrine as a base to create public art, sculpture, vessels, and limited edition jewelry. The aquatic realm is the root of much of her work, the result of spending six years on a boat in the Caribbean in her youth. Aquatic life infuses her sculptures with animated forms, sparkling surfaces and faceted exoskeletons. Her love for murrine making dovetails well into her investigation of growth patterns and biological structures.
Kait received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993 and her MFA from Alfred University in 2001. Her collections include the Carnegie Museum of Art, PA, the Museum of Glass, NY, the Palm Springs Art Museum, Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, WA, Seattle Art Museum, WA, the Shanghai Museum of Glass, China and the Toyama Institute of Glass Museum, Japan.
