Nadia Odlum: upcoming artist-in-residence

Nadia Odlum is a multidisciplinary artist from Sydney, living and working across Eora and Dharug land. Driven by a fascination with urban environments, Nadia creates playful and immersive works that explore personal and collective experiences of space and urban architecture. Often working site-specifically, their output spans sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, artist-led workshops, and performance collaborations. The works are inspired by movement, patterns, and forms within the built environment, mirroring and abstracting these elements to form new spatial and material relationships. Central to Nadia's practice is an investigation of perceptual experience, and how urban space impacts encounters and relationships between individuals and communities.

During my residency at Gunyah, I plan to taking advantage of the solitude and different 'pace' offered at Gunyah, using my time to explore different ways of depicting movement through drawing. My research at Gunyah will feed into a choreographic/drawing workshop to be presented with the Biennale of Sydney in April.
