"I think a lot of my work has been about infrastructure, or has become about infrastructure, as much as it is about monuments. That feels evident in works like the staple works, where the staples are obviously a critical viewing device for the photographs underneath, but also the language of the staples is happening on the platform of the plywood. The plywood is an infrastructural element that's taken from construction hoarding-provisional public-space shaping devices. So there's a similar discourse happening between the concrete and bronze, in terms of the concrete being the platform for the interaction, and the interaction depending on the platform just as much as it depends on the bronze as this focus of meaning. I think that's a really sort of underappreciated and potentially radical intervention we can make into our everyday infrastructure. The juxtaposition of a material as valuable as bronze and a gesture as flippant or overlooked as writing something in concrete can speak to that." — Wilmer Wilson IV
