VICTORIA WAGNER: OUR VISION WILL BE BETTER ON THE MOON

In this series of dimensional paintings made during her residency at Local Language, Wagner ponders questions of human cognitive and physical flexibility in regards to atmospheric, industrial, political, and emotional change. She remains darkly optimistic, continuing to scale her color scheme, materiality, and mark-making to meet the 1970 voyage of the Apollo 14 and the epic experiences and ethereal, transcendent conclusions of astronaut and noetic scientist, Edgar Mitchell.
