“The magic of her art, which is about examining, collecting, sorting and assembling,” said The New York Times of Wilson’s work in 1999, “lies in its unexpected transformation of ordinary, even bland items into objects of power, danger, wonder or warning, all with a mysterious aura and an offbeat, lopsided charm.”
I recently discovered this new (new-to-me) assemblage artist online, La Wilson. I found her video here on vimeo, and googled a few other photos of some of her past work. From the NY Times: “The magic of her art, which is about examining, collecting, sorting and assembling,” said The New York Times of Wilson’s work in 1999, “lies in its unexpected transformation of ordinary, even bland items into objects of power, danger, wonder or warning, all with a mysterious aura and an offbeat, lopsided charm.” A few more photos of her work are available HERE at the John Davis Gallery. I love the simplicity of much of her work.
