Editor: So, this is an untitled photograph by John Howell, depicting a woman with two boys outside. It has a somewhat eerie feel because it looks like a negative. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It reminds me of old family albums, ghosts caught in time. The inverted tones make it dreamlike, but also vulnerable. It makes me wonder about the untold stories held within ordinary moments. What do you think that the artist was aiming to capture? Editor: I'm not sure, maybe the beauty in the everyday. Thanks, that was insightful! Curator: My pleasure. It's a beautiful piece to ponder.
