Wilson exhibits her recent head-sized paintings, brimming with symbols and motifs such as spirals, outstretched hands, nets, constellations. Employing a high-octane palette her works are heavily textured, made through collage, painting and a process similar to frottage. These works are installed onto gallery walls which have been clothed in Wilson’s large black and white paintings on loose fabric, akin to theatre backcloths. The title of the exhibition connects to the notion of time travel or the collapse of chronological time, whereby one is in touch with the past, connecting with the ancestors through the use of colour and symbols. Because Wilson conjures these symbols her work appears to be atemporal, ancient and box fresh simultaneously, somehow.
The former 36 Lime Street Gallery was established in 2009 as an artist run space to provide a platform for emerging and established artists to experiment and take risks with new work. Selected by committee from an open call, 8 proposals are selected and exhibited throughout the year.
The gallery space continues to provide a platform as 36.
