Laminations 1975 - 1977

Curator: David Leverett's "Laminations" intrigues me—it's this ghostly layering of text and golden hues. Editor: Immediately, I'm struck by its palimpsestic quality, like an ancient document barely clinging to existence. The color feels sepia-toned, nostalgic. Curator: Right, that historical echo is fascinating. Leverett often explores themes of memory and the ephemeral nature of information. It’s almost as if he's burying these words, these ideas. Editor: I wonder about the artist’s intent. Is it a critique of the overwhelming amount of information we process, or a personal reflection on fading memories? The intersection of diagonals is intriguing, a symbolic crossroads perhaps? Curator: Perhaps it's both. Leverett's work frequently invites multiple interpretations, and given his interest in semiotics, I think the text itself plays a key role. Editor: It's hard to discern, though, isn't it? The layering creates a sense of deliberate obfuscation, almost daring the viewer to try and decipher the hidden meanings. Curator: In the end, I think “Laminations” is a reminder that meaning isn't always immediately apparent, and that’s perfectly fine. Editor: Yes, a testament to the power of suggestion. And the beauty of ambiguity.
