Wilson's work is characterised by architectural concerns with volume, illusionary spaces and auditory perception.

[1] The same year the temporary (May–June) installation One Piece at a Time filled the south tower of the Tyne Bridge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

In 2009, Wilson's architectural intervention, Square the Block, was installed on the northwest exterior of the London School of Economics (LSE)'s New Academic Building at the corner of Kingsway and Sardinia Street.

Commissioned by the LSE and curated by the Contemporary Art Society, Square the Block is an outdoor sculpture that both mimics and subtly subverts the existing façade of the building.

In 2012 the installation Hang On A Minute Lads, I've Got a Great Idea recreated the closing scene of the film The Italian Job on the roof of the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea.
