Saskia Wilson works as a visual practitioner and educator specialising in the application of documentary approaches to commercial practices. Evoking a refined sense of balance, contemplation, and authenticity, her earthy portrait and landscape work locate subtle flourishes of beauty and human connection within everyday situations. 

"I love the process of collaboration, especially that early phase when you’re bouncing the thought bubbles around. When you get to the making part, if everyone is looking for the same thing visually, there’s this shared language that emerges, like unlocking the matrix, and when that happens, it makes for really strong and beautiful imagery."

"I love Hanya Yanagihara's novel A Little Life, particularly this moment, which describes watching the sun setting on a train carriage: 'He'd watch that kind light suffuse the car like syrup, watch it smudge furrows from foreheads, slick gray hairs into gold, gentle the aggressive shine from cheap fabrics into something lustrous and fine.' She articulates the kind of magic a certain light can bring to seemingly mundane subjects."

"I had an idyllic childhood growing up in Northern NSW. All the usual stuff— exploring the bush, climbing trees, jumping off the rope swing at the local waterhole. It happened quite organically as I started shooting, but it's clearer to me now that I've sought to recreate that sense of freedom and childlike wonder in my work."
