It’s great to be back in Winnipeg spending time with family that I had rarely had to the chance to meet before. My show starts today, Very exciting! below is the Curator’s (Dr. Brenda Cantelo) statement.

Wilson’s exhibition, “Where I Come From,” addresses two fundamental questions: the first is existential and the second deals with place.  On the one hand, her “visual improvisations” are an interior journey of discovery where she seeks to find her deepest and earliest sense of self – literally where the “I” comes from.   This is a dynamic rather than static process.  Wilson recognizes that even one’s sense of self changes over time as reflected in her moving, probing and searching lines. Change in the broadest sense is a constant and an inevitable part of life as nature, people, places and even memories are in flux.  This is the second way in which her work can be understood, as the “Where” I come from. After decades away from Winnipeg, Wilson returns to childhood places and reflects on childhood memories of place.   Her work compels audiences to think about the transitory nature of ourselves and of our world.
