Double Kissers 2000

Curator: Bob Law’s Double Kissers, a print from 2000, immediately strikes me as more of an architect's sketch of affection. There's something very structural about love here. Editor: Yes! It's so simple, almost primal. The stark contrast between the white lines and the black background gives it such intensity, like emotion barely contained. Curator: The X motif created by the intersecting lines is quite potent, isn't it? It could symbolize crossing paths, or maybe even the "X marks the spot" of connection. Editor: Or a big, bold "no." But in this context, maybe the denial of separateness. It's a fascinatingly ambivalent symbol. Curator: Perhaps Law wanted to show the underlying framework of intimacy itself. That vulnerability made visible through the barest of lines. Editor: Right. It makes me think about the way we build relationships, the frameworks we create, and how fragile they can be. This is more than just love, it's about its building blocks. Curator: Exactly. He has really nailed love’s structure. Editor: Precisely, so raw and open.
