Eveline Kotai, Trevor Vickers, Jacky Cheng, Pamela Gaunt and Sarah Thornton-Smith. Curated by Dunja Rmandić.
A series of steps, movements, manoeuvres. They give form to an intricate balance between potentialities and boundaries of medium as well as the joy and tension of precision at the core of the works in this show. Their 'smallness' emphatically allows, demands, a pondering that creates what Paul Partos – in writing about modernist abstraction and early work of Trevor Vickers – referred to as 'a concentrated experience'. This expanded experience sits in the plainness of materials, the primacy of the makers' mark, the slowness of labour, the joy of making, the frustration of repetition, the meditation that becomes form.
