Reveal 1992 - 1994

Editor: Here we have "Reveal" by Dorothea Rockburne, currently residing at the Harvard Art Museums. It’s a print, with layers of lines and shapes. The overall feeling is… chaotic, yet there’s a definite structure trying to emerge. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It's like peering into a mind, isn’t it? Rockburne has this knack for making geometry feel deeply personal. The severe lines wrestling with those playful circles—it's the constant push and pull between order and impulse we all experience. Do you feel that tension? Editor: I do! I didn’t initially, but now that you mention it, it's like watching a carefully constructed plan start to unravel. Curator: Exactly! And that’s the "reveal," perhaps, the beautiful mess beneath the surface. Editor: Thanks, that’s a cool way to think about it. Curator: My pleasure!
