Rhoda Juels
I use fiber materials to create two and three dimensional art-works that are thematically feminist, for example, honoring distinguished women or bringing attention to the plight of women in oppressive circumstances.
My assemblages incorporate contemporary sensibilities and unusual materials with traditional techniques such as hand sewing, crocheting, beading, gluing, and dying. While the methods I have chosen are labor and time intensive, some pieces requiring a year to complete, the focus of attention contributes to my strong sense of purpose and commitment.
