lara odell

Lara Odell’s work combines video, drawing and performance. Her individual and collaborative projects explore the failure of identity, so performance anxiety, the double and camouflage are recurrent themes. Figures come to life in her animated drawings, and performers remain still in her videos – a drawing tells a story and a narrative in video form paints an image. Odell’s work has been shown in Russia, China and Cuba, as well as London, New York, and Los Angeles. She has art degrees from Alfred University, SUNY Buffalo and University of California, Irvine. She lives in Orange, CA, where she edits an advice column, Ask Gertrude, with her proofreader-husband Logan. For more information, see her website: www.yesandnu.com/laraodell
