Madre Rosa Cedro (Ancash, Peru) 1981

Editor: So here we have Rosalind Solomon's black and white photograph, "Madre Rosa Cedro (Ancash, Peru)." There's such a stillness to the image, a sort of quiet strength. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, I think you nailed it. The stillness is palpable, isn't it? Solomon has a knack for capturing these incredibly intimate moments. I see a woman rooted to the land, connected to her history and her community. It's a portrait, yes, but it's also a story. Editor: A story? Curator: Absolutely. Look at the details – the worn leather of the jacket, the donkey beside her. What do they tell you? Perhaps of a life lived close to the earth. It invites us to imagine her world. Editor: I guess I was so focused on her face, I missed all that. Curator: Happens all the time! Art is about noticing, then noticing more. Now, what's next?
