[no title] 1995

Editor: This untitled piece by Robert Therrien features two overlapping blue circles in crayon, a seemingly simple form. What symbols or meanings do you find resonate within it? Curator: Consider the circle—a universal symbol. It speaks to wholeness, eternity, and the self. The superimposition suggests relationship, interconnection, or even conflict. What memories or feelings does this pairing evoke for you? Editor: I see the idea of two worlds colliding, or perhaps a Venn diagram, showing common ground and distinct identities. Curator: Precisely! Therrien's use of such fundamental shapes taps into archetypal imagery, hinting at deeper psychological or spiritual dimensions. It shows that simplicity can carry profound meaning. Editor: I never would have thought of it that way. Thank you for sharing that! Curator: My pleasure. It's about unlocking the layered meanings within the deceptively simple.
