Editor: This print by Terry Winters features two distinct images, a scientific-looking diagram above an elbow, seemingly x-rayed. I'm struck by the contrast between the abstract pattern and the anatomical rendering. What do you make of this pairing? Curator: It's a bit like peering into the unknown, isn't it? Winters often explored scientific imagery, biology, and growth. Perhaps he’s suggesting a connection between the micro and macro, the visible and invisible structures that underpin existence. It is a fascinating look at how we are made. Editor: So, you see a sort of dialogue between the human form and something larger, more abstract? Curator: Precisely. It is, isn’t it? And the printing process itself adds to the sense of layered mystery, like uncovering something hidden. A reminder that what we see is only a fragment of a much grander design. Editor: I never considered the printing technique adding to the message, I'll definitely remember that perspective.

Terry Winters began making prints in 1982 after working as a painter for more than ten years. Engaging in the printmaking process, he found a way to extend his interest in drawing, which already underpinned his painting practice, and further his ideas within a structured method. The many stages of revision and proofing that lead to a final editioned print provided Winters with a vehicle to explore and elaborate ideas in keeping with his preferred method of developing artworks during their making.
