Editor: Chris Ofili's "Penrhyndeudraeth 16.9.96" presents a mesmerizing field of radiating lines. What visual echoes do you find in this piece? Curator: These starburst patterns are suggestive of cartography, of mapping not just a physical space, but perhaps a psychological one. Consider the cultural memory embedded in geometric forms and radial symmetry. Where do you see repetition, and where do you see variation? Editor: It's fascinating how a simple shape morphs across the image! I am curious, what personal significance do you attach to this work? Curator: I find the meditative quality of the lines quite compelling. This piece serves as a reminder of how simple forms can hold profound depth.
