Crafty combos of cabinet like curiosities, mixed and melded and worked and welded and captured and cast – curisophy reveals the reality in which conception lags behind…

Cara Nahaul’s animal/insect hybrids are created from the world of the unknown. Her imagined hybrids do not act as a canvas to subject our anxieties on to but allow the spectator to consider new forms of existence.

Rebecca Moore’s mix of sounds, props and projected images create a theatrical multimedia experience to allow the spectator to become a performer within the work, confusing the links of flow and narrative.

Natascha Nanji creates eerie moments of tension, drama and mystery confronting the unknown; constrictions of meaning and form releasing lines of flight.

Marie Thams’ sculpture and abstract installations question the value, and our perception of everyday encounters, dramatising the banalities of daily human life to challenge the viewer’s participation in the staged illusion.

Emily Whitebread’s found images and film footage confuses the lines of distinction between one’s own memory and an experience with the unfamiliar in an attempt to subdivide reality.

Cara Nahaul. Rebecca Moore, Natascha Nanji, Marie Thams, Emily Whitebread and Red Gate Gallery courteously invite you to come and share in this curiosophical adventure.
