Career
Wilson often combines large-scale landscape photographs with sculptural elements of metal and concrete, challenging the two-dimensional nature of traditional photography.[6] She is influenced by the landscape of the American West and by the land artists of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Michael Heizer.[4] In the creation of her work, she often cuts or folds her photographic prints. She works with both darkroom and digital photography, as well as with C-prints and emulsion transfers.[4][7]
