Letha Wilson Letha Wilson is an American Artist who works mostly with Photography and Sculpture. Born in Honolulu and now living in Brooklyn New York, she has had her work presented in a couple of different galleries such as Bronx Museum of the arts, The Studio Museum in Harlem, International Centre of Photography and many others. Wilson's work is mainly focused on landscapes photography, nature being her greatest inspiration she loves to involve trees, water and mountains in a lot of her work but all while making the audience look at these natural things in a different more interesting way when she sculpts these pieces. Wilson would have used things like dry wall to create her pieces but as of 2012 discovered her love for using things like concrete and cement. Wilson has a very free approach when it comes to her art as I have seen her explain while I was doing my research. She talks about the process of going out and taking the photos and bringing them back to the studio to be printed, where she then goes to say that she 'destroys' the art work as in she takes a beautiful photo and further manipulates it by using concrete or mixing images together. She speaks about a lot of her work being very trial and error, having to go into a piece with the mind set that it could turn out horrible or it could be a happy accident. I really like Wilson's moto when it comes to her work, I find it very care free and you can tell every piece came from the love and process of creation.
