Wade's artistic practice incorporates illustration, painting, mask-work, puppetry, and performance, as a methodology of remembering the forgotten spiritual traditions of their lineage, while revealing and reimagining contemporary and playful spiritual realms. Wade’s practice draws on the commonalities and contradictions of their Black Southern Christian, Mexican-American, and White heritages as a solid and expanding foundation to their work. Archetypes of the Mother, the natural world, dream analysis, and ancestral histories generate a self-reflective and authentic visual language that offers the artist and the viewer an opportunity to create joy and curiosity in the wake of a cataclysmic reality.
