Equinox (trial proof) 1972

Curator: David Leverett’s trial proof, Equinox, presents us with an intriguing image—warm yellows dominate, creating a hazy, sun-drenched atmosphere. Editor: Yes, it feels like a fading memory, a visual echo of something once vibrant. The grid beneath hints at order, yet the diffused colour feels almost chaotic. Curator: That tension is crucial. The equinox itself is a moment of balance, but Leverett captures the fleeting nature of that equilibrium. The geometry suggests structure, while the spray evokes ephemerality. Editor: Thinking about cycles of renewal, the grid could represent systems of power or social order, subtly disrupted by the soft, shifting colours. Is Leverett hinting at a breakdown, or perhaps a necessary transformation? Curator: It could be either, or both. The symbol offers hope and optimism, yet it is fragile. The image reminds us that change is inevitable and that even stability is an illusion. Editor: Absolutely. It's a beautiful paradox; a meditation on impermanence using enduring geometric forms. Curator: A powerful statement, indeed.
