Pamela Wilson-Ryckman: Home and Away

8 February - 16 March 2002

Pamela Wilson's first solo show at moniquemeloche.

Pamela Wilson encountered the “desire to move away from the more distant aesthetic of contemporary abstract painting”  — the result will be her first solo show since 1992 at moniquemeloche with a new body work marking a significant change in style.  With a complete lack of irony Wilson chooses her images primarily for their formal concerns, yet never denying they often resonate with aesthetics and politics. The sources are not exotic; snapshots, newspapers, photos friends unsuspectingly send, a domestic view so familiar one is surprised to find something seemingly worthy of attention.
