“ Wilson-Smith lives in Red Lake, on the Canadian Shield surrounded by the boreal forest. Her exhibition is a prescient reminder of how we affect the natural world over time. With every addition, every move, every alteration, what was there before is forever altered. “

My art explores the passage of time and my sense insignificance in the vast natural world around us.  

Living in the far north, on the granite and gold of the Canadian Shield and surrounded by Boreal Forest, I explore that the formations, which resonates within my soul. Through the delicate layering of my work I also have the opportunity to explore genetic memory and the evanescence of life.

My sculptures, the gossamer fine yet intrinsically strong structures become an active receptacle for interpretations of time and lasting memory. A place for quiet contemplation.
