...wrapped the evidence in the even more controversial doctrine of pre-emption, saying America could no longer wait for proof of its enemies' intentions before defending itself overseas--it must sometimes strike first, even without all the evidence in hand. Much of the world was appalled by this logic, but Congress and the American public went along. Four months after the war started, at least one piece of key evidence has turned out to be false, the U.S. has yet to find weapons of mass destruction, and American soldiers keep dying in a country that has not greeted its liberators...

And it's that mix of comic and caustic that makes the Super Furries special.

Monochrome mutates into color, and simple dots and triangles morph into ripples and barley-sugar twists, always following an internal logic. You can see her refining a theme, then moving on in a new direction, returning to an earlier obsession or throwing several ideas together. Her entirely abstract work seems self-contained, but retains links with the real world, says curator Paul Moorhouse. It is about what Riley called...
