Letha Wilson b. 1976
-
As a lover of the natural world, Letha Wilson brings together photography and sculpture through her innovative "photo extrusions," where she transforms photographic imagery into dynamic forms using steel and concrete. She sees photography as a visual language that demands a unique physical presence to fully come alive, often merging the raw beauty of natural landscapes with the power of movement and force.
