Exhibition: Woman, My Own Point of View
Thu 17 August - Sun 17 September
The title piece of this exhibition, Woman depicts an international symbol for women, two ‘X’ chromo- somes, a uterus and a foot.
A quiet nod to Frida Kahlo and other iconic female artists who paint their life experiences, these symbols invite focus on the physicality and biology of womanhood that guides and impacts the way the artist walks through her life. Wilson is reflecting on life as a menopaus- al woman, an experience only made possible by her age and female biological, hormonal landscape.
My Own Point of View, the sub-title of this exhibition is a quote from Virginia Woolf’s A Writer’s Diary (first pub- lished in 1953): ‘…something which I want to write; my own point of view…’. Wilson threads the female voice through these semi-autobiographical works which are deceivingly upbeat, colourful and humorous, while pondering serious content about the artist’s experience of life as a woman and that of women more broadly. The shift from youthful flower to mature woman is a transition that our society may not want to know about, but the lived experience has led Wilson to ‘speak up’ in these works and illuminate her ‘own point of view’.
OPENING EVENT – Saturday August 19th from 2pm – INCLUDES and ‘in-conversation’ with Rebecca and special guests
