ABOUT THE ARTIST
Josie Wadelton creates situations in which everyday objects are altered or detached from their natural function. By applying specific combinations and certain manipulations, different functions and/or contexts are created.
​
Her works appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse.
​
Wadelton works in a variety of media.
This includes painting and drawing on canvas, digital painting, collage, soft sculpture, film, app art and installation.
A key element in her practice is the research, discovery and investigative process which translates into a search for material elements such as paper, texture, fonts, symbols, and numbers. This process then forms the basis for an artwork.
​
Her primary source of inspiration is derived from Classical Antiquity European and Asian cultures. Major influences have been Surrealism, Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism. And the Unseen Universe of the Human Imagination.
​
By focusing on techniques and materials, the work then generates diverse meanings. Associations and meanings collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image.
