Editor: So, this is Robert Therrien’s *No Title (Stacked Plates)* from the Tate collection. It's, well, a big stack of dinner plates! It feels so familiar, yet so strange at this scale. What do you make of it? Curator: It’s like childhood memories amplified, isn't it? The mundane made monumental. I see a play on scale, transforming the everyday into something almost surreal. It’s about challenging our perception. What do these ordinary items, seen in this light, tell us about ourselves and our relationship to domesticity? Editor: So, it is about the emotional connection to everyday objects? Curator: Precisely. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. The plates are humble, comforting even. Think about the feelings associated with a home-cooked meal, the weight of routine. Editor: It is an interesting perspective that makes you appreciate the art in our daily life. Thanks for sharing. Curator: My pleasure. Art invites us to reflect. It’s a mirror, reflecting our shared human experience.
