Tara Donovan

Until 24 Feb Tara Donovan's work is on display at the Stephen Friedman Gallery, in an exhibition called 'Memory and Obsession'. Other artists included in the show are Tom Friedman, Robert Gober and Mark Manders. Donovan's work 'Colony' blew me away. It was fascinating, so simple and so affective. I loved the shear range of colours in the collection of pencils, referencing geological formations and processes. I really like the simple exploration of what simple everyday materials can do, just through repetition and multiplication.
