NOW IS NOW – Otomys presents Now is Now, a solo exhibition by Greg Wood, open until 15 May. Request exhibition catalogue via [email protected]. At the edge of dawn, when the forest breathes out into the crisp beginning of a day, Greg Wood finds his vision. He seeks the softer light, the spaces of rain and mist, the glowing fuzz of pre-dawn light, the quiet hum of winter cloud. Wood is drawn to colour, tone, and textures: air and water are silver-grey; the forest is a deep dense, emerald. Wood finds the ancient, more venerable elements of his subjects: the land is antique; hinting at a more subtle element of Wood’s imagery: time. Everything is immediate, taking place in the moment of creation: here is the now. Wood captures a moment, documenting how he felt to really be there, watching a moment transform. Now is Now, just as much as it was then, as it will be. Wood’s time is fluid, silver, captured, yet still slipping away, as it does for us all. Written by Andrew Harper #Otomys #OtomysArt #GregWood

A collection of new glass sculptures by Madisyn Zabel have arrived in the gallery! Request catalogue via [email protected]. Madisyn Zabel, based on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land (Canberra), works primarily with sculptural glass. By manipulating external surfaces and internal planes of colour, she explores the relationship between two and three dimensions.  Zabel highlights glass’ duality, its transparency and opacity, while emphasising the interplay of colour, light and form. Each piece occupies a liminal space, inviting contemplation of shifting perceptions. The contrast between machined and hand-finished surfaces is enhanced by the changing natural and artificial light on the gallery, prompting reflection on the boundaries between colour, form and perception in the ambiguous medium of glass. Composite VII, Coldworked and Laminated Glass, 19.5 x 21.0 x 6cm; Organic Structure IV, Coldworked and Laminated Glass, 17 x 9 x 4.8cm; Construct XXXVI, Coldworked and Laminated Glass, 5.5 x 6.5 x 5.5cm #Otomys #OtomysArt #MadisynZabel

New works by Inga Dalrymple – A collection of new paintings by Inga Dalrymple have arrived at Otomys. Request Inga Dalrymple’s catalogue via [email protected]. In these works, Inga Dalrymple explores memory through material, method and abstraction, working from visual impressions such as surface textures, unexpected colour and fleeting light. Embracing experimentation as part of her process, her paintings balance intent and intuition, allowing for surprise and discovery. Based in Sydney on Gadigal land, Dalrymple graduated from the National Art School in 1997 and has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally, with five regional art prize finalist selections.

FORTHCOMING – Otomys presents Now is Now, a solo exhibition by Greg Wood, open from 23 April to 15 May. Ahead of the exhibition, our team visited Greg Wood in his regional Victorian studio, gaining insight into his practice and process. Request catalogue via [email protected]. We invite you to join us for the opening celebration on Thursday 23 April, 5:30 - 7pm. Following a recent residency in Japan, Wood returns with a body of work grounded in presence, where control is loosened and the act of mark-making becomes an exercise in trust. Each painting unfolds intuitively, embracing uncertainty and allowing the work to arrive on its own terms. #Otomys #OtomysArt #GregWood
