Editor: This untitled piece by Anish Kapoor features a stark contrast of dark and light, creating an almost ethereal landscape. It's quite textural. What do you see in the composition? Curator: The artist's manipulation of tone and texture is indeed striking. The work emphasizes the interplay between positive and negative space, with the dark masses forming a focal point against the lighter ground. Note the materiality, the granular quality achieved through the medium itself. Editor: So, the texture itself is as important as the landscape it depicts? Curator: Precisely. The artist prioritizes the abstract qualities of form and surface over representational accuracy. We are invited to consider the relationships between the visual elements. Editor: That's a fascinating way to look at it. I appreciate the emphasis on the material qualities and the visual relationships within the work. Curator: My pleasure. It enriches the experience when we move past representation and start decoding the language of form.

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.
