Stations (1982)

Stations is an enigmatic hauntingly vivid work in which Wilson envisions the daydreams and fantasies of an elevenyearold boy as a universe both magical and sinister Resonating with Wilsons precise visual stylization the tapes pivotal image is a young boy looking through a large window in the kitchen of his home which becomes the portal for his dramatic often startling inner fantasies Fire metal wind glass and water among other elements serve as points of departure for a series of elegant pictorial compositions and evocative metaphors Unfolding without dialogue or spoken language Wilsons indelible visions articulate the fear and mystery of the internal life of a child and his relation to the outside world
