The Continuous Cycle by Rebecca Rendell
The Continuous Cycle is a new solo exhibition by Rebecca Rendell currently running at Tashkeel till 28th February. It features found objects and mixed media installations with an intricate attention to detail.
The exhibition invites us to take a moment to contemplate the ordinary by displaying objects using nature’s patterns to depict the continuous cycle of life, providing us with a fresh look at art with a disciplined simplicity that is a key element in her work.
I like to examine the interconnectedness of the natural world and the relationships between art, ecology and geometry. This research has led me to visit ancient geometry and pattern theories. My previous experience in textile art has also influenced my pattern making, with repetition, control and order all playing important roles in my practice and concepts. Rebecca Rendell

Camel, Fish, Goat, Fox and Human Teeth are just a few of the 300 teeth contained in this cabinet, collected throughout 2011 around the United Arab Emirates and during my travels."
