Little Squares 1969

Editor: This is "Little Squares" by Berenice Sydney, and I find the way the blocks are filled so different, a bit hypnotic actually. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It's a fascinating arrangement. The squares, like cells in a larger organism, each contain unique markings, echoing the idea of the individual within the collective. Do you see how certain motifs recur? Editor: Now that you mention it, there are spiral shapes and clusters of dots that appear in multiple squares. What do these symbols mean? Curator: Spirals often symbolize growth and evolution, while clusters might represent community or interconnectedness. Sydney may be exploring the relationship between order and chaos, the personal and the communal. Editor: That’s a fresh perspective that makes me appreciate the piece more. Curator: Indeed, symbols act as threads, weaving together narratives across time.
