It feels like falsehood -a staged stillness when no one is in the space, or using the objects. It is It all neat and tidy in the space, ship shape and spic and span. My tidy, our tidy materials, presented on platters, served up for viewing or possible encounter. They are loaded these objects but nobody knows they are laughing at you behind your backs as you are unaware of the disturbances they bring. In this sapce all is calm though and they are neatly balanced and equalised, pulling connections of red between themselves, they echo each other and are a family of things, they make all sorts of sense and no sense, not quite uncanny, neraly wrong , slightly juicy, seductive. However the conversations around the table pull at the objects and name them, tell their stories, what they enabled, what they did, what unfolded, what was performed. We are sitting also neatly amongst them. They are ready for something else.

Kimberley FosterKimberley's practice as an artist is pedagogical, it doesn’t just reference learning, it plays with, embodies and encourages learning at its core. The objects consider ideas of collaboration and authorship, discussions about touch and encounter, and bring into active consideration issues of learning within social and participatory practices.
