excerpt form the book:
Many of Wilson’s paintings are inscribed with text from Beautiful Scars, and here they take
flight from the page. Not necessarily legible, the words and stories come alive in a different way.
They become integrated into a more complex and layered language.
The paintings are of heads and faces that resemble masks whose traditional form and function were to draw forth the inner spirit of the wearer. They look at once ancient and futuristic. The face represents identity. The head is the locus of spirit and imagination. The images also resemble totem pole carvings that evoke and honour animal spirits and human kinship with nature. These paintings depict the hunters, warriors, and Chiefs; the seers, the ghosts, the spirits, and the ancient ancestors.
