Wild´s recent practice is collage, a meditative daily exercise in leafing through and cutting out lifestyle magazine pages, giving shape to inner experience, affording flight from the known. Crystalline architectures of high-gloss cutouts fill page after page—Wild trades mostly in the inanimate, built, and mineral world. The work emerges as sediment processed through the iconography of cool chic; pretty much anything, from lipstick advertising to the decor of luxury interiors to fashion accessories, can catch Wild’s attention. Hers is a magpie strategy: she collects pieces of worldly glitz and bling to free them from the commodity system and turn all-too-familiar pictures into new images. Wild’s kaleidoscopic worlds—she terms them Fantasías—exert their own, special allure. A.S.
