Lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland
—
Wickerham & Lomax are influenced by queer theory, speculative fiction, human geography, and the socio-political as it relates to urban space. The duo presents a discourse focused on identity, subculture, marginality, and connectivity as a way to complicate mainstream tropes and to show how the individual functions in the group. Their practice is based on the accelerated exchange of frivolous information, gossip, and codified language that crystallizes into accessible forms in hopes of giving dignity to that exchange.
