Rita Leduc is a research artist whose work investigates relationships, systems, and distributions of consciousness. While her starting point is visual exploration of ecological relationships, she absorbs and applies these insights to relationships on human and societal scales.
Leduc is a synesthete with an acutely calibrated ability to discern parts, perceive patterns, and relate to systems. Through intimate, creative participation, she absorbs sensorial idiosyncrasies, rhythms, and wisdom. Infused with this relational understanding, she can adeptly assess and respond, dexterously receiving, transporting, translating, and transmitting these insights into creative byproducts, interdisciplinary initiatives, and complex communities.
Leduc received her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and BA from the University of Pennsylvania (summa cum laude). She teaches in Rutgers University’s interdisciplinary program, Creative Expression and the Environment.
