Staged Conversation #4 (the world is flat)

Staged Conversation #4
(the world was flat)
The fourth iteration of Staged Conversation is a constellation of objects culled from Wells’ studio over the past three years. These include the remnants of performative scenes, material explorations, and found objects employed in cultural dead-ends and roundabouts. These forms find unity in a stoicism which outlasted their respective original contexts and a shared spatial and chromatic grammar.
