THIS IS TEXT BASED ART

Adam Daley Wilson
One of my first pieces of a new body of work using spray paint as the final layer over oil stick to write an almost-legible language statement over prior layers of now-illegible backstory, this piece documents the thoughts and feelings of two women close to me who each used both intellect and self-compassion to make meanings for themselves, true to themselves, in response to at times withering misogyny in the context of feminism, and transmisia in the contexts of trans and nonbinary identity. The piece makes visual reference to elements of Christopher Wool, street art, and graffiti.
