nonney oddlokken
Nonney Oddlokken creates visual, narritive tales with her use of handmade paper, threadwork, and imaginative, fantasitcal creatures. With her work she illustrates many different types of alegory, folk tale, personal narrative, and stories from the American South. She uses gold thread to visualize the energy, or life force, inherent in her caracters, and gold embelishments to point out the mystic “seeing eye” that most if her compositions focus around.
Oddlokken is a native of New Orleans, whose works have been exhibited throughout Louisiana, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Gulf Coast, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, in addition to having work in the Southern Ohio Museum of Art’s permanent collection.
