Curator: The absence of a title for this 430 by 380 mm print by Anish Kapoor almost forces an intimate encounter, doesn’t it? Editor: Immediately, I see a visual language steeped in the gaze, a kind of… void staring back, imbued with themes of the other, perhaps? Curator: Yes! That deep black… It sucks you right in! For me, it's about that edge, that almost violent threshold—a boundary between worlds. Editor: Precisely. There’s a palpable sense of liminal space. One thinks of the social and political implications of such chasms, the forgotten or erased histories they represent. Curator: Kapoor's work often dances between the monumental and the intimately scaled, inviting a sort of personal confrontation. Editor: And that scale is important. Its size seems to amplify the visual metaphor—the personal *is* political, made manifest through this portal. Curator: It leaves you pondering about boundaries, visibility, and the spaces we choose to acknowledge or ignore. Editor: Indeed. A stark reminder that what we choose to see, and what we choose to ignore, shapes our world.

This is one in a suite of thirteen etchings entitled Blackness from Her Womb. The suite was produced in an edition of thirty of which the first twelve were bound as books, and the remaining eighteen were presented unbound in boxed portfolios made of hand-dyed parchment. Tate’s suite is number twenty-five, and is one of the portfolio versions. Each of the thirteen prints is signed by the artist. The project was designed and printed by master engraver Jacob Samuel.
