KetflesAndrea Roe  \n# Looking for clues\n\nThe expression,truth to materials,with all its associationsfor sculptural practice has proved particularly relevant tothis show.The concerns continue to be with the con-sfituents of the object -material,form and space,but theemphasis has shifted,and partly,thal's to do with the rela-tionship between artist,viewer and the role of the work inthis equation.Sculpture is that most honest and immediatediscipline,which,unlike the twodimensional arfformsneed not concern itself with illusion and implied space.The object is the very material of everyday life-acquired,selected and arranged in the domestic,industrial andexternal environment (not forgetting the gallery space).Ithas become a key element of individual,cultural andsocial identity.  \nTruth to materials also focuses attention on the nature ofthe object rather than its wider significance.Of the eightartists represented in the show,each one is very muchconcerned with material and/or object,but in addition,the processes of production (making),manipulation andtransformation are equally vital.The object maintains itsimportance and having established its identity is investedwith further references and additional layers of meaningthrough these processes.The act of discovery for theviewer becomes one of interaction with the artist wherethe meanings associated with familiar or even mundane  \nobjects are brought into play.Human presence either realor implied is important to all this work.  \nMultiple references encourage many'readings'and defin-tions of meaning.Inevitably there are questions,and in aprocess which seems to parallel the art of detection,weassume the answers to be contained within the work.However,for the artists,ambiguity is also important,theirpractice is neither formulaic nor prescriptive,but is depen-dent on their skill and an ability to exercise just the rightmeasure of control.  \nThe sum of allparts considers a selection of the mostinteresting work currently being made in Scotland.Thelast decade has seen too few exhibitions exploring thestate of three-dimensional art and still fewer whichinclude women's practice in this area.There is alwaysa need to document progress and this show should beseen as part of the ongoing debate about new devel-opments in sculpture and threedimensional work.  \nJane Warrilow  \nGilliaon Curran  \nGillian Curran's sculptural environments are humorous andbold,combining familiar objects and placing them in anew context.The work is full of visual anomalies,such asthe distortion of scale,to emphasise our choice of,andattachment to particular possessions.Curran selects objectsfor their endearing and absurd qualiies.She has the particular instinct of the collector for bringing together specifictypes or categories of object·small plastic animals or pen-cil erasers disguised as a mass of brightly coloured flowers.The work is invested with an immediacy and familiaritywhich resuls from recognising and identilying the objects ofour own history and experience.  \nCurran is often concerned with the interplay between theinterior and exterior surfaces of the object,using and creat-ing containers,such as suitcases and handbags and under-mining our expectation of scale to suggest the importanceof common-place objects.  \n4  \n5  \nGillian Curran Garden 1994

\nDealing with contradictions and connections:cleanlinessand dirt,series and dispersal,Barclay selects and  \narranges objects to signify their insitutional and individualassociations.Responding to a particular space she oftencombines multiples and repeated elements with scatteredtraces of unrecons","cbCaiivGUD0bgfxV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiivGUD0bgfxV","pdf",2049399,36,"English","# Looking
