Odette England
Odette England (born 1975) is an Australian/British photographer.[1] England is known for using vernacular and family photographs in her practice.[2][3]
England's work is held in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago[4], the New Mexico Museum of Art[5] and the George Eastman Museum, where she exhibited in 'Of Time and Buildings' with John Divola and Lori Nix.[6]
In 2012 England won the prestigious CENTER $5,000 Project Launch Award, juried by Virginia Heckert, Associate Curator, J. Paul Getty Museum. Of England's work, Heckert wrote: "I kept returning to Odette England's 'Thrice Upon a Time' for the story it tells about the loss of a family farm, and Ms. England's poignant effort to reclaim that loss by engaging her parents in the performative act of attaching negatives of the farm that she had taken previously to the soles of their shoes as they return to the site on a regular basis and walk the land that they once owned. The images derived from the battered and frayed negatives make tangible the anguish and grief the photographer wishes to convey."[7]
In 2015 she was a finalist for the Australian Photo Book of the Year Award for her independent monograph Lover of Home.[8]
England is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography and the Graduate Program Director at the Rhode Island School of Design.[9]
England is also the director/curator of the Winter Garden Photograph project.[10]
