Wilding (born 1943 in Primavera, Paraguay) depicts symmetrical dualities: up and down, in and out, open and closed, evoking mystical, personal, and esoteric narratives. The works express inter­connected­­ness and spiritual exuberance while exploring the visionary iconology of the energy and force of growth.

Wilding's practice emerged at the forefront of Feminist Art in Los Angeles during the late 1960s and 1970s. For the last 50 years, Wilding has lived as an activist and artist fiercely committed to eco-feminism. Wilding was a co-initiator of the Feminist Art Programs alongside Miriam Shapiro and Judy Chicago. The Feminist Art Program produced Womanhouse, an art installation and performance space focusing on collaborative and feminist ideas. Fueled by the explosion of female-focused work and research, Womanhouse sought to move beyond the predominantly male-centric art history. Wilding's work continues to interrogate societal narratives, challenging the status quo in art-making, life, and politics.

Wilding has exhibited extensively worldwide since the late 1960s. A 2014 retrospective of Wilding's work, Fearful Symmetries, traveled to five venues across the United States. Wilding's work was also included in the seminal survey WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, organized by Cornelia Butler, which traveled from the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) to the National Museum of Women (Washington, D.C.), PS1 Contemporary Art Center (Long Island), and the Vancouver Art Gallery.

2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Womanhouse, an influential Los Angeles exhibition, installation, and performance space organized through the CalArts Feminist Art Program. At Womanhouse, Wilding's Womb Room fiber installation and performance Waiting are some of the best-known and highly influential works of the 1970s Feminist Art Movement.
