Im Still Here-Holly Wilson

I’M STILL HERE

I’m Still Here

2017, 29”x 27”x 24”, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina, and flex cord

The boarding schools cut the hair and stole the language of Native American children. But inside, they were still there. My sister lost her hair to cancer and people stopped making eye contact, leaving her to feel invisible. But she was still there. The old tree was cut down, but its power to lead to the spirit world is still there. Through everything, they whisper, “I’m still here.”

She Bears the Seeds

“She Bears the Seeds”
Unique Cast Bronze on Birch, 14” x 11” 3.5”

Within each flower, there are the seeds to the next generation of that flower, not one but many. We are like that flower holding not one seed but a whole generation; we pass on life, we pass history of where we come from and who we are and what we can be, hope for the next generation of life.

Holly Wilson-The Strong

The Strong

THE STRONG

My work attempts to explore what lies beneath or in the shadows. I am intrigued with the power of these shadows in our lives and how they haunt us or make us doubt our reality, at times even terrorizing us. I consciously incorporate shadows in my work by controlling the lighting and relationships of the figures, giving form to the secrets that linger in our lives.
