About this Item

Neuware - Wilding's multifaceted approach to materials is reflected in her drawings and collages focused on representing formA colleague of Phyllida Barlow and a mentor to Rachel Whiteread, British sculptor Alison Wilding (born 1948) ceaselessly experiments with material, working with what is available to her: steel, silk, beeswax, rope, alabaster and more. Moving beyond her sculpture, On Paper examines Wilding's extensive drawings and collages. While loosely related to her three-dimensional pieces, these works expand upon her investigation of surface by using a distinctive formal language: a strong interplay between representation and metaphor. Much as in her sculptural practice, Wilding uses a range of materials, from ink to silicone fluid, to visualize and test ideas of mass and depth. This clothbound, full-color survey with over 300 illustrations lays out the subtle correspondences in forms and concepts between Wilding's historic and more recent series of works.

Synopsis

Wilding’s multifaceted approach to materials is reflected in her drawings and collages focused on representing form

A colleague of Phyllida Barlow and a mentor to Rachel Whiteread, British sculptor Alison Wilding (born 1948) ceaselessly experiments with material, working with what is available to her: steel, silk, beeswax, rope, alabaster and more. Moving beyond her sculpture, On Paper examines Wilding’s extensive drawings and collages. While loosely related to her three-dimensional pieces, these works expand upon her investigation of surface by using a distinctive formal language: a strong interplay between representation and metaphor. Much as in her sculptural practice, Wilding uses a range of materials, from ink to silicone fluid, to visualize and test ideas of mass and depth. This clothbound, full-color survey with over 300 illustrations lays out the subtle correspondences in forms and concepts between Wilding’s historic and more recent series of works.
