Editor: This is "Newhaven 2" by John Walker. It's an etching, I believe. The heavy blacks and muted greens really give it a somber, almost oppressive feel. What do you make of it? Curator: It's a fascinating dance between abstraction and representation, isn’t it? The texture feels almost primordial, like glimpsing a city in its infancy. What if these shapes aren't buildings, but memories taking form? Editor: I like that – memories taking form! That clicks for me. Thanks. Curator: My pleasure. It's always about finding your own story within the lines.
