For Beach Bodies, “Rodda presents three bodies of work that connect to our physical relationship to the beach. She incorporates self-tanner as a medium to consider light and the absence of light through abstract marks and darkroom photograms. The exhibition also includes heads made of concrete, kitty litter, seashells, and other materials placed around the gallery, reminiscent of drizzle sandcastles, that reference the environment and geological features. Rodda’s two video works include found video of a jacuzzi cycling through its functions (without bodies present) and a recording of fingerprints that distort and blur her laptop screen.”
