Judy Warne will be presenting some of her latest work in her evocative and thought provoking 'rabbit series'.

This half life size, hessian covered, rabbit figure - burdened by a bundle of sticks is just one of the works Judy will be showing at OTR Gallery on the weekend of December 4 & 5. Opening times 11am - 5pm.



These works were recently shown at the Briget McDonnell Gallery, Hampton.

Wire It Up: Community Sculpture Project

Following a very successful weekend workshop over the Discover Dunkeld weekend (October 22-24, 2010) Hamilton Artist Alison Eggleton wired together countless sculptural pieces, created by the community from household waste, to construct a finished installation which can currently be seen at OTR Gallery, Dunkeld.




This interactive project brought the wider regional community and me as the artist together to collaborate in the art making process. The sculpture installation which invigorated the gallery space was a culmination of everyones efforts to explore working with wire and recycled materials. Thankyou to all of the approx 130 participants. A free postcard of the installation is available from Off The Rails Gallery.

Wire it Up this Weekend!

Wire it Up community Sculpture Installation, will be happening on October 22 & 23 at Off the Rails Gallery...so come on down and get amongst it!




Alison Eggleton led a fascinating afternoon workshop at OTR Gallery on Saturday.
Participants had the opportunity to get stuck into the piles of recycled materials that Alison provided, and began working on sculptural ideas in the lead up to this weekend's Discover Dunkeld Event.




Wire it Up is made possible by the Australian Government regional arts program, the Regional Arts Fund, which gives all Australians, wherever they live, better access to opportunities to practice and experience the arts. The Regional Arts Fund is administered in Victoria by Regional Arts Victoria.




Thanks Alison!
