“I believe the concern for the environment and nature comes from the heart of my experience spending time outdoors. It’s not something that I address overtly; but I allow the viewer to bring with them what they may and, perhaps, or ideally, they re-consider their own relationship or assumptions about nature.”

Wilson creates “photo sculptures” embedding landscape photographs, torn, cut, and folded, into cast concrete forms. Her work references landscape painting and Cubism and challenges traditional ways of thinking about the process and categorization of photography.
