Wilkinson’s work explores intimate material gestures of proximity and the coming together and undoing of shifting support systems, whether the body, the school, the home, or other structures that organise dependency and belonging. Artifice, hospitality, and rhythm recur as points of orientation for thinking through our relationships to what is carried, received, and remade. Working across sculpture, photography, and installation, she draws on embodied understandings of scale and time to consider the emotional detritus that runs alongside experience. Through visual gestures drawn from minor encounters and shaped by conditions of access and improvisation, the work traces the threshold where the vandalistic meets the votive.
