The Insistence of Form: Contemporary Sculpture at Otomys
-
Contemporary sculpture asks something different of us. It occupies space, casts shadows, demands we move around it. In an era of screens and flat surfaces, that insistence on physical presence feels quietly radical, and it sits at the heart of what we do as a contemporary art gallery in Melbourne.The sculptors working with Otomys are a varied group, united by shared purpose. Together they represent some of the most compelling contemporary sculpture in Australia right now.
-
Joel Sorensen's practice is concerned with weight, balance, and the visual tension between materials that shouldn't coexist as comfortably as they do.
-
Zoe Amor works at the intersection of body and landscape, producing forms that feel shaped by geological time yet remain unmistakably intimate.
-
Meg Walters makes sculpture rooted in landscape, water and the emotional weight of place, driven by a desire to honour the natural world and give form to our felt relationship with it.
-
Marie Bernard works across two forms: intricate plywood constructions translated from layered paper collage, and delicate mobiles that introduce movement and chance into their quietly vibrant practice.
-
Basil Papoutsidis explores formalist abstraction alongside the utility of construction-specific material.
-
Madisyn Zabel brings a rare material sensibility. Her glass-based practice producing contemporary sculpture of striking translucency and quiet psychological depth.
