The debut show of the Odd Seeds collective. This first exhibition will be curated by Lâl Yılmaz assisted by Huw Dickinson and will include works of 11 artists.

About

A narrative through the amalgamation of the odd.

11 artists from different specialisms and different backgrounds, come together forming the Odd Seeds.

Commencing from a seed, it is not the fruit or the flower, it is the process of sprouting, the germination that reveals.

Curated by Lâl Yılmaz, scatterings of moments and fragments of processes are presented whereby captured artefacts are relics of a thought, or a time not experienced by the viewer. Dispersed seeds physically connect the emotionally distant, drawing from personal experience and innate motions of growth and repair.

The portrayal of vulnerable states become prominent through deconstruction of preconceived ideas. Barriers are dissolved and remaining matter becomes a vessel of documenting traces of processes, states, growth. The body as a motif is distinguished as separate from the soul but also inherently inhabits the same space, bringing duality into question.

Nature and artifice co-exist, informed by bodily connection to forms of seedlings and the detritus of contemporary life. Ruins of change sprout threads, stitching together versions of events and unrelated narratives from each artist.
