About the Item
'Midnight Vanda' is a unique glass artwork from the collection Fantasy Plants, by the Canadian artist, Michèle Oberdieck.
Oberdieck's aim is to question the effects of climate change, cross-pollination and human intervention, on the natural world around us, highlighting the precarious future survival of our vast, vital and varied species of plants.
Through intense studies of extinct and endangered species at the Herbarium in Kew Gardens, as well as visits to various plant science research centres, has resulted in her own visual catalogue, from which Oberdieck references to create her series of abstracted and imagined plant forms. In essence, assemblages from this exploration, resulting in stylised hybrid botanicals.
Beginning with gestural sketches, Oberdieck has found glass the perfect medium to bring forth her ideas, immortalising them in this alluring material. By simplifying plants to their core elements, the immediacy of blown glass and its fluidity, capture these forms perfectly, which are then carefully combined for her compositions.
Michèle Oberdieck has been working with blown glass since her MA at the Royal College of Art in 2016. This shift of material was the result of a significant commission involving the development of a new technique of fusing printed fabrics between sheets of glass. A moment that sparked curiosity in this new medium, paving the way for a new creative direction. Previously Oberdieck studied textile design at Glasgow School of Art and ran a successful printed textile practise for several years based at the Oxo Tower, London.
She has exhibited and sold work in Italy, France, Japan, Lebanon, USA, South Korea, Canada, as well as in the UK. Her work was selected for the European Prise for Applied Art Exhibition 2022 in Belgium, as well as the Ireland Glass Biennale 2019, being one of just 50 international artists on show. For the last three years she been invited to exhibit at Venice Glass Week. In March 2023, she was chosen as just one of only 14 artists by the Crafts Council to exhibit at Collect Open, held at the prestigious Somerset House. Most recently, Oberdieck was awarded the QEST (Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust) grant in 2023, allowing continued training in blown and sculpted glass.
