Millie Wilson (born 1948 in Hot Springs, Arkansas) is an artist and teacher who lives and works in Austin, Texas.
Wilson's practice encompasses a variety of media and incorporates Modernist and Minimalist traditions alongside postmodern strategies that use humor, parody and recontextualized objects and imagery to question stereotypes and conventional ideas involving sexuality and gender identity.
[1][2][3] The Hammer Museum catalogue for the 2000 COLA show describes her Work as "characterized by [a] shrewd appropriation and tweaking of high- and low- cultural icons to create lesbian subtexts.
"[4][1] Her 2013 solo exhibition at Maloney Fine Art presented vernacular, found photographs in small light boxes, whose multiple readings arise from formal qualities, and juxtaposed everyday gestures and situations.
[5] She describes that work as “unfinished inventories of fragments, improvisational sites where the constructed and the readymade are used to question our making of the world through systems of language, knowledge, things and information”.
