In the exhibition Sustained Expansion, Marlene Sarroff is undertaking an exploration of ‘The Fold’. She says” the fold simultaneously combines the idea of an action, where one can bend  over or double up, or make compact by doubling or bending. Parts can also be extended to a closed position or bring from a compact to an extended position. Like stage props takes possession of the space as three dimensional installation.The installation reveals a visual horizon, that suggests a congested almost claustrophobic environment that has the possibility to be expanded by subtle adjustments. However there is a vulnerability prevailing as they could also expand too far and collapse to a flat nothingness. The Fold is a form of connection that follows the general principals of a Deluezian concept : open ended and exhaustive, non-exclusive and unlimited exterior and infinite. Folding and unfolding no longer simply means tension – release contradiction – dilation, but enveloping – developing , involution and evolution.   The Fold is a figure of a multi-centred world, a world of intersecting planes of flourishing possibilities and synchronicity.
