Landscape c. 1988

Editor: This small watercolor landscape by Elena Prentice feels like a memory, a fleeting impression of trees against a soft sky. What symbols or echoes do you see in this scene? Curator: The trees, rendered almost as silhouettes, could be seen as emblems of resilience, marking time and enduring through seasons. The monochrome palette evokes a sense of introspection. Does it remind you of traditional ink wash paintings? Perhaps she's drawing from a shared cultural memory of nature as a space for contemplation. Editor: I hadn't thought of that, but it certainly adds another layer to it. Thanks! Curator: It's remarkable how a simple landscape can hold so much depth, isn’t it?
