Melanie Ottenstein is from Rockville Maryland. She received a BFA for her major in Fibers and minor in Printmaking at Savannah College of Art and Design. Melanie has always been drawn to natural and tactile materials using hands-on processes. Inspired by female artists such as Kiki Smith and Yayoi Kusama, she strives to blend the difference between art and the artist. Ideas of growth and strength are at the core of her work, which she explores through her process. Melanie works with natural dyeing, print and pattern, printmaking, and collage. I do not limit myself to one medium, and that freedom of process allows me to create an idea using anything at my finger times. I like to play with the concept of reality, and nothing toys more with that idea than a dream. Using collage, paint, printmaking, and photography allows me to expand an idea that is personal by creating dynamic tactile layers. Dreams conjure themselves in a surreal manner, I like to create an atmosphere where these dreams can come to reality in a physical form.
