About
Wells Watson is a New York based multidisciplinary artist working across film, sculpture, and painting. His practice engages technologies of preservation, pushing media systems, such as CRT televisions and photographic plates, to their limits of stability.
-
Instead of using damage as a purely expressive gesture, Watson applies processes of abrasion, burning, distortion as interventions, turning the intended functions of materials inward.
Rather than producing images to simply be consumed, Watson’s practice stages situations in which images consume themselves. Through this cannibalism, images devour their own authority, collapsing into something generative- opening up space for reflection.
