[no title] 1994

Curator: Welcome. Here we have an untitled print by Terry Winters, part of the Tate collection. Editor: My first impression is of something fractured, volcanic—those fiery reds and the dark ground create a feeling of intense energy barely contained. Curator: The fractured forms evoke a sense of geological strata, or perhaps even broken circuitry. The linear network feels almost like a map of the nervous system. Editor: It's a fascinating tension. The grid seems to want to impose order, but the shapes resist—those irregular polygons throb with life. The materiality of the printmaking also adds to this. Curator: Indeed, Winters masterfully plays with symbolic forms, alluding to systems both natural and constructed. The print is reminiscent of early diagrams of the brain, or anatomical sketches. Editor: It’s a compelling intersection of the organic and the geometric, isn't it? A vibrant exploration of how structure contains and shapes inherent chaos. Curator: I agree. It really makes you reconsider how we perceive order and energy in the world around us.
