[no title] 1976 - 1977

Editor: This print by Joe Tilson features three distinct panels: Glastonbury Tor, a labyrinth, and peat. The stark contrast in each section really draws my eye. What do you see in the composition of this work? Curator: Note how Tilson employs a triptych format, traditionally associated with altarpieces. Observe the progression from the solid form of Glastonbury, to the intricate line of the labyrinth, and finally the textured surface of the peat. Editor: The arrangement does create a journey of sorts. Curator: Precisely. Consider how the stark geometric forms interact with the tonal variations within each panel. It prompts a deeper reading of the materials and their inherent qualities. Editor: It's fascinating to see how such simple shapes can have so much depth. Thanks! Curator: Indeed, the beauty lies in its formal restraint and conceptual richness.
