Awake from your Slumber

Wilson's compositions are stark fairy tales for adults. And her images are all about living in the United States right now. They intersperse imagery of girls and skeletons fighting, killing and playing in cartoon landscapes with word balloons of text lifted from conspiracy theory books, far-left and far-right political journals and fringe magazines… Fantastic things constantly happen in Ms. Wilson's images. The little girls fly about, for instance, and trees morph into melodramatic words like "safe" and "victory." It is as if the artist is creating a kind of imaginary, almost Arcadian realm torn asunder by extreme viewpoints. Sound familiar? Is this a metaphor for contemporary America, edging toward cultural civil war? If so it is a chirpy, brightly colored and oddly captivating one.
