Inspired by nature and informed by memory, Kait Rhoads utilizes Italian glass techniques to create sculptures, public art, and limited-edition jewelry. Raised on a ship on the Caribbean Sea, she grew to appreciate aquatic life and biological systems. She weaves individual elements—specifically, conical hexagonal forms called hollow murrini—to form a fluid or floating object that can take months or years to complete. “I desire my work to be emotionally effective—that it evokes for audiences a similar sense of wonder in our blue planet that continues to inspire me. And even, perhaps, to instill a desire to conserve our fragile aquatic ecosystems,” she says.
