Adrian Rhodes The 701 CCA Prize 2020 winner was awared a six-week residency to the 701 CCA. During that time, she completed her solo exhibition How to Untie a Tight Knot. She is trained as a printmaker, and she works primarily in mixed media and has become widely known as an installation artist. She received her BFA and MFA degrees from Rock Hill’s Winthrop University. She has exhibited extensively throughout the Carolinas and is a top emerging artist on the national and international scene – an artist to watch! From 701 CCA’s exhibition statement: “Adrian Rhodes’ work is about relationships, and the complexity of closeness- the desire to separate from your past and return to it in the same breath. For Rhodes, print becomes a method for creating structure. This framework, indulging a desire for order, creates space for disruption. Using prints as modular components allows the work to inherit visual information across a body of work. She is interested in how this repetition of imagery and motif reflects recurring thought patterns and an unwillingness to move on.”
