Paula Wilkins (b.1967) is a London based artist working with photography. She has recently completed her Masters in Fine Art and Kingston University (2019-21). Wilkins' practice investigates the ever-expanding visual language created by the proliferation of image transference in the digital age. She uses appropriation and re-photography of imagery from art history, film and popular culture to explore the recurring tropes and themes used to depict and construct gender ideals. With the ‘Tracing the Future’ project she has employed ubiquitous classical images, exaggerating the processes of digital transference, to locate the ideal point whereby the image hovers between the past and the future of imagery.
