SUMMARY:CAA Public Lecture: Letha Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium for a free\, public
  lecture by Letha Wilson.\n\nLetha Wilson will present a large selection o
 f her artworks\, spanning over twenty years\, and share some of the inspir
 ations\, ideas\, and interests behind her artistic practice. She will disc
 uss her unique approach to landscape photography and how she combines it w
 ith sculptural processes and materials. Wilson frames her work at the inte
 rsection of photography and sculpture: she takes landscape photographs (of
 ten from the American West) and then physically manipulates them — fold
 ing\, tearing\, embedding them into concrete or steel — to challenge the
  flat-image convention. Her studio practice has a strong emphasis on mater
 ial experimentation\, where tests and trials lead to discoveries and unexp
 ected results.\nLetha Wilson was born in Hawaii\, raised in Greeley\, Colo
 rado\, and currently lives and works in Taghkanic and Brooklyn\, New York.
  She received her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from Hunter Col
 lege in New York City\, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and

 ns have been held at GRIMM Gallery in New York and London\, Galerie Chr
 istophe Gaillard\, Paris\, FR\, Higher Pictures Generations\, New York\, a
 nd Sperone Westwater\, New York. Her outdoor sculptures have been installe
 d in the City of Las Vegas\, NV\, Riverside Park\, New York\, NY\, the Roc
