Editor: This is Ivor Abrahams' "Oxford Gardens II". The print has a slightly surreal feel, with a stark contrast between the lush tree and the rigid architecture. What’s your take on this piece? Curator: It’s like a memory, isn't it? A fragment of a place, overgrown, a little melancholy. The sharp geometry softened by nature's persistence. I wonder, what secrets do those steps hold? What stories could those bricks tell? Editor: I hadn't thought about the secrets. It definitely adds a layer of intrigue. Curator: Art's like that, isn't it? A whispered question, not a shouted answer. And this one leaves you wanting to explore the garden further, doesn’t it?
