Scriptorium Revisited focuses on the development of Wilding’s rich and multi-faceted practice during the 1980s, alongside recent works on paper. Perhaps best known for her involvement in the early 1970s Feminist Art Movement in Los Angeles, and the activities of the Women’s Building, Scriptorium Revisited re-orients the social aspect of Wilding’s prolific career within the context of her private studio environment, which fuels the artist’s commitment to collective political action. Inspired by the12th century German abbess Hildegard von Bingen, who greatly contributed to the fields of music, medicine, biology and the visual arts, Wilding’s Hildegard series portrays biological life cycles using botanical imagery, realized in an array of mediums including gold-leaf, stenciling, ornate patterning and cut-outs. Wilding first encountered Hildegard’s writings in Paraguay, where she grew up. Years later, Wilding made a pilgrimage to Eibingen Abbey on the Rhine, to see Hildegard’s illuminated manuscripts firsthand. The Hildegard series extends the mystic’s work into an “eco-feminist mythology,” informed by contemporary biopolitics, offering a feminist counterpoint to Western and male-dominated narratives.
