Curiousstalking 1976

Editor: Oh, this Stanley Boxer print, "Curiousstalking," just feels like a half-remembered dream. Delicate washes of color and these ethereal figures... it's so gentle. Curator: Boxer, born in 1926, often explores themes of mythology and nature. This piece, although undated, invites us to consider the representation of women within those classical frameworks. Editor: The turtles are an unexpected addition. They almost ground the more fantastical, floating figures. I keep wondering about the title though. Curator: The title suggests a dynamic of observation, perhaps a subtle commentary on the historical "gaze" in art, where women are often objects of scrutiny. Editor: It's certainly made me think about how we look and why. There's a quiet power in that. Curator: Yes, and it reminds us that even seemingly gentle art can carry complex layers of meaning. Editor: Definitely something to sit with, this one. I think I'll be curiousstalking it for a while! Curator: Agreed. It provides a refreshing lens through which to understand the ongoing dialogue between art, identity, and the natural world.
