PUBLIC & PRIVATE
Public & Private is a set of two beautiful books, each clothbound with photo-printed silk and housed together in an elegant slipcase. Public: Five Outdoor Paintings 1993-2003 documents projects the artist conducted in public spaces at Long Island University, the Islip Art Museum, and the Rose Art Museum. On the grounds surrounding these museums, campus galleries and art buildings, Wagner marked times of day by painting shadows cast at particular moments, marked her own presence by drawing arcs on the ground, and added her own markings to lichen covered rocks. Private: More Notes on Paint 1983-2003 documents a single project carried out over the course of twenty years in the yard of Wagner’s studio on Gravelly Lake in Tacoma, Washington. In August of 1983, she painted eight large squares of different yellows in oil pastel, chalk, watercolor, and oil paint on the wooden fence, and eight small squares of blues making up a grid on yet another part. Methodically documented every year, the photographs are arranged chronologically and also in fold-out grids, creating lyrical collages out of the empirical evidence of decay.
