[no title: p. 236] 1970

Curator: This is a page by Esq Tom Phillips, taken from "A Human Document." He creates these altered book pages using collage and paint. Editor: The heavy cross-hatching at the top gives way to this tender green at the bottom... it feels like a weight lifting, or sinking, depending on how you read the text fragments. Curator: Phillips's work here speaks to the layering of meaning. Notice the contrast: a vintage page with erased sections, revealing a new narrative built upon the old. Editor: I'm drawn to those cloud-like shapes where words used to be. It's like memories fading, leaving only glimpses of feelings. "Sometimes silence, sometimes..." It's haunting. Curator: Absolutely. The chosen words offer a fragmented story of longing and sadness, creating a new, evocative poem that reflects on universal themes. Editor: Seeing it this way makes me think of how we all carry the echoes of past narratives within ourselves, constantly reshaped by experience. Very beautiful.
