Meet the Artist – Andrew Omoding

2.30 – 4.30pm

Free event

Drop in and meet Andrew Omoding and find out more about his exhibition Common Threads, a joint show of work with Anthony Stevens, currently at Phoenix Brighton. HOUSE Biennial Curator, Celia Davies, will introduce the afternoon’s event, following which Andrew will welcome visitors to look at his sculptural textile works with him, hear the stories behind them and even try on some costumes!

Andrew Omoding’s work is largely autobiographical. His mixed media creations, which include sculptures, books, costumes and more are made from left-over and scrap materials. The creative process is a key component of the work, where Omoding selects a variety of found materials to weave, wrap, sew, thread and construct new objects. An intuitive process, the works are created as Omoding’s stories evolve. Whilst making, the artist simultaneously sings, performs and shares his works through storytelling.
