The series draws from well-known still lifes by Italian painter and printmaker Giorgio Morandi, and is a culmination of a two-year long residency at the Morandi Museum and Casa Morandi, the Italian artist's studio in Bologna, and his summer home in Grizzana. In Wagner's images, the silhouettes of those objects Morandi so carefully arranged and interpreted are cast against monochromatic backgrounds, created through the her use of colored gels. Solid objects appear elusive, caught in the vibratory aura at the edge of a shadow.
