I came across Hilary Wilder's work when I was looking for my residencies. She participated in the Cow House Studios artist residency in 2011, where she made these pieces (using acrylic on paper to imitate wood).
At first glance, there doesn't seem to be much of a connection to the work that I'm making, but I think there is a common theme of 'elevation of the ordinary'. She takes it in a direction that questions reality/authenticity (with an note of humor that isn't too overt). And of course they are beautifully executed and realistic (which they have to be to make the point).
