Fabricating three-dimensional “situations” that move through contextual and visual shifts is an ongoing interest for Wahl. Investigating cultural phenomena, abstraction, architecture and illusion are recurring themes. For Wahl, abstraction has often been the “glue” that binds together disparate visual forms in his work.

In Group Show, Wahl refocuses his core interest in abstraction in full force. Drawing on his fascination with the optical and spatial shifts that happen between three-dimensional structures imaged in two-dimensions (via optics), he embraces a playful and experimental stance with this work. Collaborating with himself, he compiles a “group show” of imagery that is at once thematically linked and visually diverse.
