Alison Mary Wilding OBE, RA (born 7 July 1948)[1] is an English artist noted for her multimedia abstract sculptures.

Her artistic career gained momentum in the 1980s when she was part of a group of sculptors including Anthony Gormley and Richard Deacon.

[4] Wilding was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours, for services to art.

[4] She has used traditional materials, often found as reused, such as wood, stone and bronze, alongside others like steel, wax, silk, and rubber.

"[6] Wilding's work typically includes two opposing materials purposed with representing positive and negative forces, creating a balance within the art.

[4] Wilding self-archives her work, personally giving them unique numbers and descriptions that are logged in small black notebooks.

In the same year she won the Charles Wollaston Award presented by the Royal Academy for the most distinguished work in their summer exhibition.
