At the core of Wishart’s work lies a sustained investigation into the nature of experience, perception, and the act of creation itself. His visual language is one of entropy and flux, served by a diverse palette of materials — an embrace of impermanence and uncertainty as essential conditions of both art and existence. Each composition he produces is a negotiation between control and surrender, intention and accident. With an initial impulse or gesture, he sets the process in motion, but allows the materials and components to interact, collide, and evolve,  as if the work seeks to shape itself according to its own inner logic. In this way, Wishart positions himself less as an author imposing meaning, and more as a facilitator or shepherd of unfolding visual possibility.

Wishart prefers to refrain from the didactic, and is not motivated by organized systems of belief or political thought. He resists the urge to comment on current events, social movements, or topical discourse. His work aspires to occupy a space outside of temporal boundaries — an exploration of personal experience and his own human condition.
