Editor: So, this is David Leverett's "Autumn," a print from an unknown year. It’s a fascinating geometric composition of reds and greens. What symbols or imagery jump out at you? Curator: The overarching symbol is the grid, a pattern loaded with cultural meaning. It represents order, structure, and perhaps even confinement. Think about the way we map and divide land. Do you see echoes of cartography here, perhaps a memory of autumnal landscapes seen from above? Editor: That's a cool perspective! Now that you mention it, I see the faint roads or pathways. Curator: And notice the colors. They aren't just "reds and greens." They're the shades of decay, of transformation. It's a coded image of a season. The emotional weight, the seasonal shift, all distilled into pattern. A reminder of time's passage. Editor: Wow, I hadn't considered the symbolic value of the grid. Thanks for pointing that out!
