Pamela Wilson: Hard to Remember, Easy to Forget

18 November - 31 December 2005

The show was filled with poetic images of domestic interiors and exteriors investigating abstraction through architecture.

Pamela Wilson’s 2002 exhibition of paintings at moniquemeloche gallery was filled with poetic images of domestic interiors and exteriors investigating abstraction through architecture. The show was peppered with a few small paintings that might have seemed a bit out of place. But in retrospect, these tense images taken from newspaper photographs, depicting youths throwing rocks in protest, were just a hint at what has increasingly concerned Wilson over the past few years. Her new exhibition “Hard to Remember, Easy to Forget” will feature a series of modestly-scaled works on paper. These delicate watercolors still have an air of abstraction, but upon closer look one encounters the aftermath of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and war.
