Editor: Here we have an untitled pencil drawing by Joshua Cristall. It seems to depict people on a beach. The sketchiness gives it a sense of immediacy. What stands out to you about the materiality of this piece? Curator: The pencil itself is key. Its accessibility democratized art-making. This sketch likely served a function; perhaps a preliminary study for a larger, more ‘finished’ piece. It showcases Cristall's labor. Editor: So, the value isn't just in the final product, but in the artistic process? Curator: Precisely! The raw, visible effort, the choice of such a readily available material, and the suggestion of mass production through sketching, challenge traditional views of art and craft. Editor: That's a really interesting perspective; I hadn't considered the social implications of the humble pencil! Curator: Indeed, viewing art through the lens of materials opens up a wealth of interpretation.
