Snow 1969

Alex Colville made this print titled "Snow" with some kind of printmaking technique. It's like a snapshot of a moment, you know? This woman is pulling up her stocking garters and you can see the sea through the shutters behind her. I'm wondering what was going through Colville's mind when he made this? You know, it's pretty gutsy to show this quiet, intimate moment. It's like he's saying, "Hey, life isn't always about the big stuff. Sometimes it's about getting dressed in front of a window." The texture is so subtle. Like a million tiny dots making up the image. That attention to detail makes everything feel super real, but in a slightly strange way. It reminds me that as artists, we're all connected, riffing off each other's vibes across time. We all borrow, and then do our own thing. This piece embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for many interpretations and meaning.
