Rhodes and Stephanie Sparling Williams, and a new interview with the artist. Wilson embraces a both\/and approach to art and living, using the same techniques, materials and motifs to make rugs and clothing as she does for art on the gallery wall. Throughout her work, little to nothing is discarded, with scraps from one artwork recycled into another, reflecting both a practice of eco-sustainability and a model for creating something new from fragments left behind. This volume presents paintings, sculpture, prints, collages and videos, with different mediums frequently intermixed in a single work, ranging in scale from small paper-mosaic work to beyond-life-size female figures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Tang Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 11.65 x 8.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154183225407,"sku":"9781636811666","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/RK_iGHu0L79781636811666.webp?v=1776954507","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/paula-wilson-toward-the-skys-back-door-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
