Item Special Note
Artist Statement: Ealish Wilson creates original sculptural textiles that showcase materiality & craft. Her architectural constructions are inspired by travel, Photography, & traditional sewing techniques. Each piece contrasts the old with the new, building layers of constructed & deconstructed elements. The art of making is at the heart of every step of Ealishs work. Making is not just an end point, but the very first step in the creation of each piece. Early samples, images, & textures are worked & reworked throughout the process. Materials are often converted to digital form, manipulated, then returned to textile to be painstakingly finished by hand. Drawing on aesthetic traditions such as the arts & crafts movement, Japanese practices, & collage, Ealishs personal touch is evident in all she produces. Whether the piece features many hours of smocking work or patterns carefully manipulated to trick the eye, the result of this meditative process is a work of enduring beauty & whimsy.
