Gill Wilson
I have been involved in papermaking for over 30 years. I have exclusively used plant fibre in my work. The material is transformed through largely traditional methods to produce a highly versatile medium which can be drawn, poured or lifted onto screens before drying. The resulting outcome can range from smooth to heavily textured, depending on the required form.
I use the medium to create complex layers which become more sculptural as they are built up. I always seek to maintain a sense of purity and simplicity reflecting natural, sustainable origin of the material.
I’m based in the UK and have undertaken work for exhibitions, architectural/interior projects in Japan, France, Spain, Belgium, Israel, UK, USA, UEA.
Gill has undertaken residencies in Japan, India and the UK
