Artwork Story

Donated to Laguna Art Museum in 1999 as one of 109 works
Exhibited Laguna Art Museum 1998-9 "Life Lessons: How Art Can Change Your Life"

Judith Spence

The art-making strategy here is "constructivism", which was and is better known in Europe than here, but you could think "minimalism" as in Donald Judd's plywood boxes. Wilder suggests (like Ruppersberg) that art is everyday. In fact we all may have constructivist art over our workbenches.
