Blue Suspended Form 1970

Editor: Here we have Sir Terry Frost's "Blue Suspended Form." I'm struck by the materiality of the print, especially the layering of the blues. What do you see in how Frost uses process here? Curator: The layering and color choices emphasize the labor involved in printmaking. Frost transforms industrial processes into something sensuous, challenging traditional ideas of artistic skill versus factory production. Editor: So, the value is in the transformation itself? Curator: Precisely. It's about interrogating the means of production and celebrating the artistic hand within a mass-producible medium. A real fusion of art and labor. Editor: I never thought about prints that way before. Curator: Exactly, materiality provides rich insights.
