Industrial Hole 1 1997

Curator: Tim Head's "Industrial Hole 1" presents us with a rather stark image, doesn't it? Editor: Yes, my first impression is one of absence, of something taken away. It's unsettling, like a censored memory. Curator: Exactly. Head often plays with perception, and here, that stark void amidst the textured surface... it implies a disruption. What do you think that disruption represents? Editor: Given the title, I think it's a commentary on industrial impact, literally a hole torn in the fabric of our environment and society. It speaks to exploitation and unseen damage. Curator: It's a potent metaphor, a visual wound. Perhaps Head wants us to question the cost of progress, the things we choose not to see. Editor: It certainly challenges us to look beyond the surface, to acknowledge the voids created by our actions. The negative space becomes a powerful statement. Curator: Ultimately, it's a quiet piece, but one that resonates with a deep, almost mournful truth. Editor: A stark reminder that absence can speak louder than presence.
