Litmus 

Editor: So, here we have "Litmus," manufactured by Eimer & Amend, though without a specific date. It features a jar of powder and a coated card. It almost feels like a still life, but… scientific? What’s your read on it? Curator: Ah, yes! It whispers of alchemy and forgotten knowledge, doesn't it? I see a tension between the raw ingredient – the lichen, that tenacious survivor – and the manufactured product. It's almost like a portrait of transformation itself. Doesn’t it make you wonder about the unseen processes? Editor: It definitely does. I'm left thinking about the unseen forces at play in artmaking, too! Curator: Exactly. What an interesting piece.
