Isabella Rinald

Artist Bio
Seattle based photographer and performance artist Isabella Aileen Rinald was born in Florida but spent her teenage years in Peoria, Illinois. She is a BFA candidate of Cornish College of the Arts, graduating in Spring of 2024. Isabella focuses on the generational performance of femininity and abrasions and ecstasies that follow through performing for the male gaze. Isabella has shown in numerous group shows in the Seattle area, her work was most recently shown at The Cherry Pit and The Behnke Family Gallery. Isabella has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Museums and WhipperSnapper Gallery in Seattle, Washington.

Artist Statement
Born passive, born image, born object, born exposed, born over-exposed, born porno queen, born to be looked at. Born girl. I am addicted to performing for the lens. With the lens, my body, installation, and the image… moving, found and still… I lay bare my verisimilitude within the contemporary American existence; speaking to the candy-coated violence and plasticised eyes. I find pleasure in constructing a girl, an act, a scene, a moment for the frame to be captured by the mechanics of the cold hard phallic lens to be legitimized within the canon and sit satisfied in gluing the male gaze at my whim, by holding it somewhat hostage. The portrayal of tropes is a ready tool in my belt, an ever flowing arsenal of girls that I have learned to reperform for foretold scopophilic, masturbatory gluttonous urge to control them as they have controlled me since my first breath. Images are loaded with tropes and the consumption of images have given us the ability to imitate the acts we perceive. I learned how to be both the Madonna and the Whore; I have become a weapon of sexual destruction for the imaginary implied man. I have learned to be utterly atomic.
