Tabitha Ott is a metalsmith who currently resides in Orangeburg, South Carolina. She transforms objects and materials that would normally be thought of as waste into wearable art through repurposing and upcycling. By utilizing color, movement, and tactile qualities, she encourages a playful interaction between the wearer/viewer and the artwork. Her goal is to create thought provoking wearable art that challenges and reconfigures viewer stereotypes of material usage, value, and importance. Ott currently serves as the Interim Chair of the Department of Art at Clafin University. Ott received a BFA from Winthrop University and an MFA from 91�ֿ�.
