A tableaux of delicate and small objects, placed specifically and deliberately in relation to each other by Ian Kiaer, creates a poignant context. Somehow the strange combination of spatial arrangement and implied narrative is a reminder of a biblical scene, almost forgotten or only seasonally-glimpsed through images of the nativity.
Notes from conversations on the artists' work held at different times between Keith Tyson, Sacha Craddock and Simon Morrisey and between Susan Hiller, Sacha Craddock and Des lawrence.
