Tona Wilson works mostly in video, painting and book arts. Her video work includes a four-channel stop-motion animated video, Crossing Paths, as well as several installations using projected video, both in collaboration with others and on her own. One of her early stop-motion animated videos, Money Talks, was included in O+ 2011, and a participatory video piece, in collaboration with sculptor Kate Hamilton, was included in O+ 2015. In her recent video work, she is currently using still images and footage from 8 and super-8 film. She has produced two handmade artist’s books at the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, both relating to her previous day job as a Spanish interpreter in courts, prisons and jails. She continues to paint, and has been studying printmaking. She now lives and works in the Hudson Valley, and has shown her work locally, as well as in other parts of this country and in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she lived for many years.
