The witnessing of the malady of being human — in its fulsome range of extremes, contradictions, and complexities — is perhaps the primary motivation for Rodick's work. His ruminations on the frantic lives going on behind our social facades lead not to redemption but back to the hard fact of itself. But the nihilism that oozes like blacstrap molasses from some of these pictures is not unrelieved by a tang of sweetness. The search for meaning, the drive to make sense of the fragments of our earthy abattoir, is as ineluctable a human trait as all the rest. Katherine Ware, Curator of Photographs, New Mexico Museum of Art, from Labyrinth of Desire: Work by Frank Rodick |

If you spend enough time with the images of Canadian photographer Frank Rodick, you may find that shifting intangible world of your dreams—or in this case nightmares—given form. Through his emotionally charged dream-like images, the unconscious is coaxed out of the shadows and we can actually take a look. . . . His photos speak of objectless desire, gripping fears, vague uncertain sadness—things that for most of us are there, but we have buried them so well, we don’t really know they are there. And then, one morning, you may look at Rodick’s otherworldly photos and they trigger a crack in the barricade. Clayton Maxwell, from the article "Frank Rodick" published in the Winter 2010 issue of EYEMAZING magazine. |
