Seeking Avalon

"To me, there's two types of place. There's a space with defined boundaries and there's the other place - equally as important - an undefined place, a space that people go to when they write or paint. You can't get there, to the creative place, unless you go to the tangible place first." - Steven Rhude

 

"Though Rhude's work depicts ever day objects we're used to seeing - buoys, dories and shorelines - it manages to transcend conventional iconography. Each object is, as Rhude himself writes, a "motif or element which bears witness" to the story of our Maritime lives." - Megan Power
