Wilson characterizes himself as a “trans-customary artist,” meaning that he crosses boundaries between traditional and non-traditional art forms. In the digital age, this self-designation has additional meaning: he crosses customary boundaries between digital and historic technologies. For CIPX, Wilson uses digitally-derived negatives to produce platinum contact prints in the darkroom.
