REVATI MANN

Saturday 7 November

In the installations by Ian Law, a pristine surface sits beside a folded paper form. Revati Mann's colourful meanderings carve a world from gathered or sculpted objects, doodles, marbles and confetti. These are practices or actions through which a piece emerges from deft making, selecting, editing and documenting. In the task of creating an installation for Furnished Space, the artists' actions collect around the domestic context, describing what can be made within, or brought to, the situation. The consideration of what will fit on a table, the success of failure of growing moss on a stone or of how a piece might be viewed at dusk, are small but crucial interventions.

Things as varied as light bulbs and limes are assembled with a care that draws sharp attention to each surface, colour and position. Often the implied relationships between these materials, or their framing within a title or situation, become as important as the individual elements themselves. A found object may be gently adapted or seen afresh in company. Here it will be left for the viewer's eyes to determine how invited objects distinguish themselves and how these in turn relate to what is already present.
