BIOGRAPHY
Aimee Odum is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, ceramics, video, and interactive media. Her work explores the relationship between technology, the natural environment, and contemporary life through otherworldly, immersive, and visually engaging forms.
Odum holds an MFA from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and has been invited to present her work at institutions including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. She is a recipient of the Fulbright Honors’ Sturgis International Fellowship, which supported five months of studio research in Iceland. Based in Utah, Odum is the co-founder of Artist Run Club SLC and maintains an active studio practice informed by both research and place-based experience.
Odum has exhibited nationally and internationally with solo exhibitions at Ogden Contemporary Arts, (Ogden, UT); Arts + Leisure Gallery (New York, NY) and Random Access Space, Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY); as well as two-person exhibitions at GRIN, (Providence, RI); Elijah Wheat Showroom (Brooklyn, NY); Satellite Art Show (Miami, Florida); and Hectoliter, (Brussels, Belgium).
