Materiality presents Psycho-Bio-Sphere: Paintings by naturalist and artist Oliver Polzin. The exhibition will include paintings in a range of sizes created over the last two years.

The paintings, which are gouache on panel, are multi-layered explorations into natural worlds, both familar and exotic. The imagery is at once mysterious but at the same time offering up a sense of a memory lost, or not quite yet made. Each piece presents an invitation to delve into a narrative that circles around the secret life of soil, and of trees, or perhaps the “animate mycilium acting out mythic stories.”
