Untitled; verso: blank page Possibly 27 - 64

Editor: This untitled work by Paul Feeley uses watercolor and graphite on paper. It looks like a page from a sketchbook. The repetition of forms feels both playful and a little unsettling. How do you interpret this piece? Curator: Feeley’s work dances between formalism and something more subversive. Those repeated, almost floral shapes, recall a kind of enforced, almost militaristic, femininity common in the 60's. Does the unfinished quality amplify a sense of the artist questioning the constraints of the time? Editor: That's a fascinating point. So you see the incompleteness as a deliberate commentary? Curator: Perhaps. It opens a space for us to consider how abstraction itself can engage with social and political realities. It's a powerful reminder that even seemingly benign forms can carry loaded cultural meanings.
