THIS IS TEXT BASED ART
Adam Daley Wilson
This piece — visually referencing Ruscha and Sugimoto — and which references text constructions not only of Holzer but also John Baldesarri, Joseph Kosuth, and Lawrence Weiner — has as its image an unfiltered photograph as I stood in water in an isolated lake in Maine where there were no humans, no human sounds, not even animal or bird sounds in that moment, just the water, almost glass which meant no wind, and the clouds did not move at all, and I took a picture, not just because I saw pure beauty, but also because if I didn’t take a picture, I would never have believed it, I would have doubted I had seen it, I would have doubted I was there at all.
