The Tricycle Gallery is pleased to present Make Your Own Kaleidoscope, an exhibition exploring the delusion of understanding present in rational thought.

Gareth Bell-Jones’ main concerns are with the ambiguity of and imposition of meaning. For this show Bell-Jones has made Holes, a large intervention inserting mirrored acrylic into the gallery walls. With its only presence being that of its surroundings, Bell-Jones’ sculpture simultaneously obliges value and signifies nothing.

Kit Craig‘s intricate and esoteric drawings explore the myth of creativity. Craig combines structures evoking Minimal art with abstract expressions such as the form of thought. Referencing Plato, Gonoud and Wagner amongst others, the precision of execution contrasts with the ambiguity of meaning.

Giuseppe Mistretta constructs transient drawings with objects and participants, which he documents with dated mediums such as photo-booth and Polaroid photography. Mistretta’s practice is a catalyst for imagination and memory, becoming metaphors for utopian and egalitarian ideology.

Prem Sahib‘s work considers the way in which objects and images mediate the relationship between people. His interest in notions of encounter, presence and physicality resonate through works that precariously flirt with the viewer, suggesting autonomy through tactics of anecdote and pastiche.

Jack Strange‘s humorous, clever and surprising work re-contextualises and re-imagines the functions of everyday objects and ideas. Creating unexpected relationships between commonplace materials, Strange provides a perspective on their uses that can open up new worlds of meaning. As Strange proposes, ‘the logic of no logic can be quite logical after all’.
