Editor: Prunella Clough's "Electrical Area" presents such a stark composition. It feels like a hidden language. How do you interpret this work and the symbols she's using? Curator: The skeletal lines suggest more than just electrical infrastructure; they evoke a sense of hidden power and transmission. The delicate blue dots scattered across the image remind us of a blueprint, mapping an unseen reality. Clough often explored the poetics of industrial landscapes. What do you feel these symbols evoke? Editor: I guess it makes me think about how we're always surrounded by systems we don't see or understand. Like a hidden world humming beneath the surface. Curator: Exactly. It's a visual metaphor for the unseen forces shaping our modern world. Editor: I'll definitely look at infrastructure differently now. Thanks!
