About this Item
Notes
“The funnelling of accumulated time is so clearly carried on the surface of each work. I also like to think of this aspect of slow accretion as linking conceptually to the process of transforming and becoming – metamorphosis and hatching – as evidenced in insect life.”1
Working without an assistant and using the very basic tools of wire cutters and pliers, Oltmann does all the weaving and constructing of his large-scale sculptures on his own, developing and refining his initial concepts as he works.
