EDEN KÖTTING

Eden Kötting was born in 1988 with Joubert Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. She grew up in London and developed a keen interest in drawing and painting. In 1996 she appeared in her father’s experimental feature film GALLIVANT along with her Great Grandmother Gladys. She had her first solo exhibition in Evelyn Street, Deptford in 1999. In 2002 she collaborated with Dr Mark Lythgoe and Andrew Kötting on the multi-media SciArt project MAPPING PERCEPTION

In 2005 she moved to St Leonards-on-Sea and attended 6th Form College at Glyne Gap where she further developed her drawing and painting skills. In 2006 her work was chosen to be part of a group show at Tate Modern organised by Project Artworks (an artist led organisation that works with people who have complex needs).

In 2007 she again performed in her father’s short film OFFSHORE and worked on the voice-over with the writer and film-maker Iain Sinclair.

In 2009 Eden presented – OFF GROUND HE – a series of drawings for Installations at both Le Fresnoy Gallery in Tourcoing, France and then murals and drawings for F-ISH Gallery in Hastings. She is presently part of the Wednesday Mentoring Group at Project Artworks and shares a studio with her father in the Old Town Hastings.
