Editor: This untitled piece by Robyn Denny presents nested squares of color, with a green form in the center. It reminds me of a simplified, almost pixelated face. What do you see in this work? Curator: Notice how the squares, reminiscent of portals, draw the eye inward. The careful placement of color creates a sense of depth, hinting at layers of meaning. What cultural symbols or memories does the image evoke for you? Editor: I hadn’t thought of portals. Maybe a digital-age totem? The colors feel very 80s. Curator: Indeed. The 80s aesthetic aligns with a resurgence of interest in geometric abstraction and its capacity to represent technological advancement and the shifting cultural landscape. This work invites reflection on how symbols evolve. Editor: I see it differently now, thanks!
