About the Artist:
Maria rose wilson is an artist, writer, poet and educator. She has worked in many mediums from installation and video to drawing and collage: always using both image and narrative.
Much of her early work was collaborative working as an artist with schools, groups within the community or the general public.
Both with her personal work and her work within the community her preoccupations were with the interplay between representation, language and memory, often with an emphasis on place. And the part they play in the construction of 'truth'.
She worked pt for 15 years in Learning in the National Museum of Wales. She has exhibited both in Wales and Internationally.
