Traveling photo-based artist Michelle Wilson explores personal narratives through images found abroad in this collection of new works sent from Taiwan.
See Yourself When All is New is a mix of large iconic images of often-unseen monuments, deceptively pastoral seeming landscapes and intimately scaled diptychs that tell a quieter more personal parallel narrative. All of these elements come together in an intersection of historical, personal and public stories.
Wilson, has to this point, been a compulsive constructor of every element of her images. Traveling has made it imperative for her to embrace a new mode of picture making and to photograph and ultimately find herself in what she came upon in her travels.
These colour photographs made in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan and the Philippines have a resonance which is uniquely Wilson’s. A testament to the theory that when artists work with honesty, any image making is in the end a form of self-portrait.
The Red Wall Gallery is located in SPAO at 168 Dalhousie, at the corner of Bruyère, in the Byward Market.
