THIS IS TEXT BASED ART

Adam Daley Wilson
Starting with my first large-scale installation in New York City, in 2017, I’ve made interdisciplinary experiments to place viewers inside a bipolar 1 brain during mild manias (hypomanias). These are not about me — they’re about the connections I see. You and I, we all see the same things — it’s just that my head connects some differently, and blurs thoughts and feelings, they’re not separate, they’re one. The electricity just runs a little bit higher between some of the neurons in my brain. This piece uses over a dozen layers, in five mediums, as well as over-layers, over-painting, and typography sizing to represent qualitative and quantitative aspects of my brain in any given moment—here, about 180 seconds on January 6, 2023. Visually the work references elements of Jenny Holzer, Glenn Ligon, Ed Ruscha, Barbara Kruger, Christopher Wool, and Idris Kahn.
