Amy Saikia WIlson

Amy Saikia Wilson is the first international artist-in-residence at PRÁM, where she will be based throughout June and July. The opening of her solo exhibition will be on July 14 at 6:00 PM. The exhibition is curated by Šárka Koudelová.

Amy Saikia Wilson, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a visual artist whose work primarily takes the form of sculpture and installation. Rooted in studies of Jungian psychology, the monomyth, and Gnosticism, her practice is an act of sharing inconclusive narratives with recurring themes of girlhood, human suffering and complex trauma, divine knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, and the rewilding of the human being. The materials Wilson employs are vast and varied and include ceramics, papier-mâché, fiber arts, digital and photographic imagery, and found and natural materials. Many of her works can exist only through the assemblage and installation of their components, offering constructed situations that externalize inner psychological landscapes and often involve a female protagonist.

Wilson has exhibited widely throughout the United States and internationally and has served as a Visiting Artist at Montserrat College of Art, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and Northern Essex College. She holds a BFA in Studio Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art. She currently works as a technician and instructor at a ceramics studio in Boston.
