Caitlin Nesbit Rhea

I create sculptural objects as well as installations and two-dimensional artworks that respond to water issues. Water is an uncontrollable natural resource that governs all existing life on this planet. My concepts are inspired by the problems that arise throughout humanity's battle over the control of water.

While I often work with sculptural materials that are tactile in nature, the media I select depends upon the concept being explored. I'm currently experimenting with water-based paints and collage. The complex challenges that float to the surface in working with such a wide array of research materials and various media intrigues me, fueling the concepts to develop future work.
