Anfroqomorqhism

Stuart Mel Wilson

Stuart Mel Wilson’s work explores the absurdity and humor in the way we process this world. His artistic focus touches upon philosophical ideas such as the human experience, perception, interpretation, language, and the expressive power of art.

In his exhibition he explored the relationship between humans and the natural world, and how we project ourselves onto it with our human-centric perspective. Wilson playfully constructs narratives around objects and creates myths of perception and interpretation through his installations.

Through the creation of immersive environments, Wilson raises ideas about the relationship between art and its viewers. By using traditional techniques and transforming them into installations and sculptural works, the artist seeks to invite viewers into a space where they can engage with the artwork in a holistic and sensory manner. This intention aligns with the belief that art has the power to transcend literal language and communicate on a deeper, more experiential level.

By exploring these concepts, artists can provoke contemplation and invite viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the world, using art to curate a space for the viewer to immerse themselves.

"the residency creates new opportunities for artists and encourages students to be inspired BY PRACTITIONERS WITH REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE."
