Editor: Here we have Jeffrey Steele's "Rational Concepts," a geometric abstraction with grey, black, and red lines creating an almost woven pattern. It strikes me as so calculated, yet strangely dynamic. What do you make of it? Curator: It’s a fascinating interplay of order and implied chaos, isn’t it? The lines, so precise, suggest a system, but the way they intersect creates visual disruptions, a sort of organized rebellion. Does it feel cold to you, or is there a pulse? Editor: Now that you mention it, I feel a pulse, like it's a city map viewed from a strange angle. Curator: Exactly! It is both rigid and alive with possibilities. Editor: I see it now, thanks!
