Odette England
SELF DIAGNOSIS
Self Diagnosis is a part-photographic, part-psychological study of failure. I expose personal snapshots on the back of each of the ten inkblots from the Rorschach inkblot test. The work investigates the consequences of opening myself up to visual interpretation; the exposure of items typically guarded; and the construction of truth versus fiction in the family album.
Odette England uses photography, performance, writing, and the archive to explore themes of autobiography, land, gender, and ritual. England is the 2020/2021 Artist-in-Residence at Amherst College in Massachusetts. She is also a resident artist of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program in New York.
Her work has shown in more than 100 solo, two-person, and group exhibitions worldwide. England was recently named a 2021 Light Work Artist in Residence and a recipient of the 2021 Silver Eye Center for Photography Fellowship. England won the CENTER Project Launch Award (2012); two grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2018-2019); and the Anonymous Was a Woman Grant (2020), among others. She has received funding to attend residencies in Australia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Spain, and the United States including the invitation-only Robert Rauschenberg Foundation residency working with Guggenheim Fellow, Jennifer Garza-Cuen. Radius Books will publish their first collaborative photographic monograph Past Paper // Present Marks in spring 2021 including essays by Susan Bright, David Campany, and Nicholas Muellner.
England’s first edited volume Keeper of the Hearth was published by Schilt Publishing in 2020, with a foreword by Charlotte Cotton. The book is part of England’s Winter Garden Photograph project which included a major exhibition at the Houston Center for Photography through January 2021. England’s work is held in public collections including the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, George Eastman Museum, Museum of Contemporary Photography, New Mexico Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and Texas A&M University. Her work has been published in many contemporary art journals, magazines, and newspapers, and she has given artist talks and critiques at Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University, Brown University, the School of Visual Arts in New York, Amherst College, the Penumbra Foundation, Kenyon College, Syracuse University, Lesley College of Art & Design, University of Melbourne, and the Art Gallery of South Australia, among others.
In 2021, she will teach photography masterclasses as a special guest at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Los Angeles Center for Photography, and the Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado. She received a research scholarship to complete her PhD at the Australian National University in 2018. She also has an MFA in Photography with Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MA in Communication, Culture and Language from the University of South Australia. England is a permanent US resident and lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island and New York City. Her work is represented in the US (east coast only) by Klompching Gallery.
