[no title: p. 12] 1970

Curator: Gosh, what a dreamy little thing. At first glance, it feels like looking through a child's eyes, all soft greens and these rather melancholic looking tulips. Editor: This is an altered page by Esq Tom Phillips from his work "A Human Document." The artist has painted and collaged onto the existing printed text, creating a new visual and textual layer. Curator: Yes, it's like he's taken someone else's story and whispered his own secrets over it. "This good book look for nobody" floats like a lost thought. It makes one wonder about abandoned ideas, doesn't it? Editor: Absolutely. The use of found text and erasure reflects a broader postmodern critique of authorship and originality. The phrase "condemned to life" resonates with existential themes prevalent in postwar art. Curator: Condemned to life—isn't that the truth? Though it's a slightly heavy concept floating above those delicate flowers. It's quite a juxtaposition. Editor: Perhaps it's a commentary on the ways in which language can both liberate and constrain us. The overlaid text creates a tension between what is said and what remains unsaid. Curator: It's a tender, almost secretive piece. Editor: Indeed. It invites us to consider the hidden narratives within existing structures.
