Textile Art: Contemporary Fibre & Textile Works as Fine Art

 

Otomys presents contemporary textile and fibre art by Australian and international artists - highlighting woven, constructed and sculptural natural fibre works that engage with materiality, process and narrative as a dedicated fine art practice.

 

Textile art occupies a particular position in the contemporary art landscape. Long operating at the edges of institutional recognition, it has emerged as one of the most vital and rigorous fields in contemporary art, collecting momentum across major collections and art fairs worldwide. The works at Otomys reflect that shift: chosen for the depth of their making and the identity, memory and narrative woven into their surfaces.

 

We welcome enquiries from collectors drawn to the tactile, the layered and the quietly transformative.
