Janet Jones : Website. Leigh Wells : ‘Deception’ Series (Collages. :: ‘Deception’ Series Mixed media on paper 30″ x 22″ 2011 :: Employing intricate references to cultural history, science, religion, and other social phenomena, Wells engages in a dialogue with the unknowable by reinterpreting source material culled from the past.
These works which hinge on scaling, cutting, and sculptural placement of disparate elements, emphasize the boundaries of what is knowable and definable, pointing out the mysterious and multi-perspective nature of truth, reality and fiction. Her works on collage present objects and concepts connected with the scavenger hunt that comprises our inherited concepts of the past.
She fastidiously examines figures and objects in the reproductions of photographs of sculptures, as well as stains found on scraps of paper, to mine the sometimes accidental artifacts of human experience. The concept of self-knowledge is obfuscated by the evident schism between the mind and body. Leigh Wells : Website Leigh Wells : Gregory Lind Gallery.

I’m exploring the boundaries between art and poetry in these intimate papiers colles composed of bits of lettering and the empty spaces between.
Stripped of literary meaning, they rely on composition, rhythm and visual movement to convey their meaning which is ambiguous and intuitive. These works are constructed from distressed street posters and billboards that have been edited into inlayed bits of printed matter creating passages that move from figure to ground and then reverse back to figure through gentle curves, irregular grids and subtle shading. Snippets of lettering almost become recognizable letters or perhaps proposals for a new poetic alphabet but always slip back into forms and spaces to create possibilities of enigmatic and open, simultaneously plausible interpretations.
