Field Note (8) 1992

Editor: This is "Field Note (8)" by Terry Winters. It's a small graphite drawing, and it feels like some kind of strange, maybe slightly grotesque, organic form. What do you see in it? Curator: Well, I see a world teeming with unseen life. Winters often explores the cellular and molecular, hinting at the beautiful chaos within us. This drawing, for me, feels like a glimpse into a microscopic universe. It's sort of beautiful, isn't it? Like looking at the stars but finding them wriggling under a petri dish. Editor: It does have that otherworldly feel. I hadn't thought of it that way, but I see what you mean. Curator: It's a field note, after all, a record of something observed, even if it's only in the realm of imagination, or perhaps intuition. Editor: Exactly! Thanks for showing me new way to appreciate Winter's drawings. Curator: My pleasure! Art is all about seeing new perspectives.
