Jasmine Rhodes is a self-taught emerging artist and an academic working in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her work integrates ceramic, collage, textile, and painting to explore embodied, affective, and relational aspects of life as a disabled woman. Dedicated practices of collection, experimentation, and arrangement form the core of Jasmine’s practice, as she integrates discarded, found, and made components to contemplate the body-matter-world relationship.
Jasmine’s artistic practice is informed by her background as an academic (teaching and research) in environmental humanities and philosophy of environmental education. She holds a Master of Environment with Dean’s Honors (2020), a Bachelor of Environments with First Class Honors (2017), and an Associate Degree in Urban Horticulture with First Class Honors (2015), all from The University of Melbourne.
Jasmine’s graduate research explored the relational production of environment amongst Master of Environment students, using creative and artistic research methods to articulate the role of body, time, and knowledge in human-environment relations. As a lecturer and coordinator in philosophy of environmental education, Jasmine uses creative, embodied, and culturally responsive approaches to support students’ exploration of their own unique relationships with environment and world.
