Phyllis Audrey Wilson
Artist Statement
My art perceptions are informed by African, African American, and Western art impulses, themes, and traditions. Through my work, I seek to create a space where these elements can reside in an "altar," where I may "realize" or "process" these issues. I am an American woman born of African descent. The blending of these different traditions is a primary concern of my aesthetic because I am a contemporary manifestation of this hybridization
