For Liste, Connie Wilson presents a suite of new wall-hung oil tank sculptures. Adopting the forms to set about a new interiority – the created oil tanks house miniature airport hotel rooms inside, viewable only through doorways that act as peepholes. The fossil fuels generally contained within their bovine-like vessels (themselves derived from plant and animal remains) feed a carnivorous, if not cannibalistic, cycle. Installed at the viewer's own level, one is left to negotiate with another somatic presence, generously revealing its core.
