Editor: Here we have Bill McDowell's "Untitled (men's suit, Roxham Rd)". What strikes me is the contrast between the suit and the overgrown nature surrounding it. What do you make of this piece? Curator: The material juxtaposition is key. Consider the suit's production – the factories, the labor, the aspirational consumption it represents. Juxtapose that with the discarded tires, emblems of material waste, and the uncontrolled growth of the natural world, reasserting itself. Where do you see the human element here? Editor: It is more like a trace, an imprint, where the human should be. Thanks, seeing the materials tells a different story. Curator: Precisely. This challenges our perception of value and waste. It's not just about aesthetics, it's about the life cycle of materials.
