Welcome to Cheese's Rice, a podcast where I talk about anything and everything under the sun. On this episode, we have a woman right after my heart, Reethee. Reethee and I connected over Instagram because of our shared love for gore and horror. I saw Reethee's work shared through Genre X and since that day it still remains some of my favourite work of all time. And after months of admiring her work, I was finally able to get her on the podcast!!!

Reethee is an artist who works in the realm of sculpture and illustrations and showcases the human body and experiences of human existence in provocative and intense ways. Her art speaks to those who share the same experiences and the ways in which we express those said experiences.
