Editor: This untitled print by Gordon House features six rectangular columns with geometric shapes. I find the limited color palette quite striking. What hidden meanings might these symbols hold? Curator: Indeed, the arrangement evokes ancient pillars or even standing stones. The geometric shapes – triangles, circles, arcs – are primal symbols, aren’t they? Do you see how the repetition and variation might be a kind of visual language, hinting at cultural memory? Editor: That's fascinating! Like a code we need to decipher? Curator: Precisely! Perhaps they're not meant to be fully understood, but rather felt. The power of such symbols lies in their ability to resonate on a subconscious level, connecting us to something larger than ourselves. Editor: I see now; it's not just about what the symbols are, but what they evoke. Thank you!
