First Folio E 1965

Editor: Harold Cohen’s "First Folio E," a print from Tate, is fascinating. The density of the dots shifts, almost like a digital landscape. What symbols or cultural echoes do you perceive within this composition? Curator: Notice how the dots coalesce into patterns, like constellations mapping an inner world. Does it recall any specific cultural memory or system of knowledge for you? Perhaps an indigenous dot-painting technique? Editor: I hadn't thought of that, but I see it now. It is like Aboriginal art. So, is it referencing a lost system of knowledge? Curator: It could be interpreted that way. It makes me think about the way abstract shapes create meaning. What about you? What do you make of it now? Editor: Now I see how symbols can change across cultures and time. Thanks!
