About this work

You see four sheets of paper taped together with messy lines and splashes of color. Blue, pink, and yellow shapes float where words might go. The writing is hard to read but feels like someone’s half-remembered dreams. Oursler often mixes text and image to make us pause. Here, the colors and scribbles look like a medicine bottle label—maybe a joke or a warning. It’s small, under a foot wide, but the marks feel urgent. Try looking up Tony Oursler next.
