Odette and Seher at 44AD

Seher Martin and Odette Smaldon exhibition

Textile design alumna Odette Smaldon and current Fine Art student Seher Martin have joined forces in an exhibition, curated by final year Fine Art student Zachary Young. 

Opening next month at 44AD artspace in central Bath, the exhibition showcases Odette's constructive textiles, alongside Seher's work in concrete, plaster, glass, found, and industrial materials. 

Odette uses a combination of traditional and contemporary techniques (drawing/collage, knitting, macramé, crochet and laser cutting) to create innovative and engaging textile pieces for fashion and interior environments. She utilises found materials, alongside laser cut acrylic shapes (informed by her chosen subject matter) which she manipulates and repeats, to create intriguing textile surfaces, lighting and jewellery with both soft and structured properties.

Seher's background in History of Art and Archaeology charges her with a sense of past, present, and future. Working predominantly with concrete, plaster, glass, found, and industrial materials, she brings to attention the very essence of the material, combining techniques and materials and manipulation of them.

Their exhibition runs 13 - 18 November (10am - 4pm daily), with an opening preview event on 12 November (6pm).
