REVELATION THROUGH CONCEALMENT

FACTORY 49 SHOWROOM

49 Shepherd Street Marrickville SYDNEY

19 - 29 October 2011

The exhibition Revelation through Concealment, is concerned with covering up the surface and revealing a new one. Marlene Sarroff’s work is always strongly influenced by materials and process and this exhibition departs from previous work, only in her change of both process and the material used. This new body of work features elasticised material. Elastic and flexible materials are stretched and wound in a rotating motion around and over the entire circular, square and rectangular shapes. Although the process is repetitive, the finished works develop a surface of random patterning each one individual, and at the same time remain a cohesive cluster. The installation features wallworks and floor stacks creating a sense of serialisation, with a subtle randomness. The floor stacks are connected to the wall works by sharing of the materials and developing an overall connecting coherence.
