RECOGNITION
Rhed studied Fine Art at Middlesex University and then spent a year at The Cooper Union School of Art, New York. She taught at the Kent Institute of Art and Design and then, for many years, was a Senior Lecturer on the Graphics BA course at Middlesex University. Rhed has exhibited her work extensively in both group and solo shows. She has shown in various London galleries, elsewhere in the UK and internationally in Lisbon. She recently relocated from London to Edinburgh where she now works full-time in her studio. In 2016 she set up and runs the Edinburgh Collage Collective.
Rhed is a collagist simply because she love images. She’s a magpie for ephemera, searching out and collecting interesting visual material. The poetic quality of vintage material has a particular draw for her. There’s often a shrouded sense of sadness in old images. They are memories that have been forgotten and discarded as they lost their immediate relationship to the world. Through a combination of ripping, cutting, layering, and juxtaposition, they are given a new context and energy. Life is breathed into them and they can yield a new poetical narrative.
