The mediums for her work are cast and forged metal, soil and plant life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe body of work I\u2019m showing is related to ideas of the interwoven relationship between humans and nature,\u201d Odegard said. \u201cSo, I\u2019m meshing the human form with natural elements as a way to highlight that relationship, which I feel is a very reciprocal relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fountain she sculpted, entitled \u2018Cycles,\u2019 was included in the gallery to induce an individual environment for her other works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe water was the main focal point of that calming quality,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was cool to get all of the elements in here that day of the show. I had the water, the candles lit in the darker room, earth and air. I have symbols that relate to air, but connecting the elements goes back to that nature talk.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her deconstruction of humanity\u2019s relationship with nature, Odegard was not looking to teach observers any lessons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs humans, we all have the ability to teach each other,\u201d she said. \u201cMy intent is to create an environment where people can hopefully come in and feel a connection to nature, a reverence for it, and a familiarity. All of us know nature, so bringing natural elements into the gallery and making it a sensory experience with the smell and sound of it all is important to me. So, I\u2019m not trying to teach anything, except about how I feel about nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibit is divided into both rooms of the gallery. One room depicts her work based on the natural environment, while the other room features a darker setting with dimmed light and metallic works to convey the themes of duality and remembrance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about honoring the cycles of life, death and rebirth,\u201d Odegard said. \u201cThat\u2019s the connecting point with the small room, which, materially, is similar to the large room because it\u2019s cast and forged metal. But that room is more of a memory room. It\u2019s the memory of the guitar I inherited when my cousin passed away, which I made a replica of and cast in metal. It\u2019s a memory of cleaning my grandmother\u2019s closet after she passed, seeing the empty closet with hundreds of hand-knitted hangers, and trying to hold on and give reverence to love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Odegard, her art does not always become what she conceptualized in her original vision. Many ideas become sketches before she sculpts them into something different, such as her stairway piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first thought I remember hatching with it was I wondered what it feels like to be inside a tree,\u201d she said. \u201cI often look up at birds, so I was thinking about a bird\u2019s eye view, having a higher perspective literally and metaphorically by rising above to see the larger picture below. A motif in my work is the spiral. There\u2019s a spiral in every direction and space because I love the idea of having to walk into a spiral and up another one to see the whole ecosystem of art below.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odegard\u2019s &#8220;Creatura&#8221; will be displayed in the Moss-Thorns Gallery until May 16.
