THIS IS TEXT BASED ART

Adam Daley Wilson
These works place painted texts over appropriated images or my photographs, visually referencing Ed Ruscha and, here, Hiroshi Sugimoto as to horizon — which I use as I see not only in overlapping words and circles-spheres, but also in movable, flexible lines. Substantively, referencing concepts of ambiguities of Jenny Holzer, and the viewer-interpretation-as-meaning-making art theories of Rosalind Krauss, this piece came of and about children, what we seem to have always sold them, all the pictures, so flawless, pictures of just who and just what they must be, just as perhaps we were sold too, or perhaps it is what we did to ourselves.
