| From On the Way to the Observatory |
| b |
| Graham Revell works across a wide range of media and materials (photography, video, sculptural installation employing fabricated and appropriated items, etc.) and his work has developed within the context of site-specific, object-based installation. |
| b |
| Sometimes employing a dry humour, the work invites the viewer to witness banal existential enactments that are both ritualistic and obsessive, reflecting a desire but also a repugnance for contact. These enactments address the physical space of the gallery/site and act as conduits for a construction of meaning. The concept of surface both as protection and host is central to this enquiry. |

| Graham Revell studied Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art and at Goldsmiths College, London. He is currently a lecturer in Fine Art and Photography at the University of Northamptonshire. |
