Alison Wilding

Alison Wilding (born 1948) is one the most powerful and erotic of contemporary British sculptors. Her sculptures are mysterious and sensual, made from materials that are traditional (wood, beeswax, copper, stone), modern (steel, plastic, rubber) and dangerous (hemlock, lead) or unusual (silk, even meteorites). Wilding's art deals lyrically with notions of volume, form, space, nurturing, the 'feminine', and symbiotic relationships. This is the only full-length study of Wilding's art available.
