Nereids I 1986

Editor: This is "Nereids I" by Ivor Abrahams. It's hard to pinpoint the exact date of creation, but the printmaking technique feels very tactile. What do you see in the process and materials used? Curator: The print, viewed materially, points to accessibility and reproduction. Abraham's choice challenges traditional notions of the unique art object, suggesting a democratic distribution. Consider also the labor involved in printmaking. How does that affect your understanding? Editor: I never thought of it that way. It reframes the image as not just a mythical scene, but a product of labor. Thanks for sharing that. Curator: Absolutely. Considering art's making reveals social and economic dimensions often overlooked.
