Book Signing with Paula Wilson

Tamarind is delighted to welcome artist Paula Wilson for a book signing on the occasion of her first major monograph, Toward the Sky’s Back Door, published by Tang Teaching Museum and DelMonico Books/D.A.P.
Wilson will speak on her work and sign copies of Toward the Sky’s Back Door at Tamarind on March 13. Four works made during Wilson’s 2021 artist residency at Tamarind will be on view, including Catching the Night (2021). Signed copies of Toward the Sky’s Back Door will be available for purchase at Tamarind.

“This book comes out of my life in Carrizozo, New Mexico, and the exhibitions it documents—its screen-printed cover, layered textures, and detailed images show the process of making and transformation. It exists through collaboration, from the curator’s vision to the authors’ words and the designers’ sensory compositions—a shared act of creation. I’m honored to launch this book at Tamarind, not only because our print Catching the Night is prominently featured within its pages,
but also because it carries the same playful spirit of material exploration and partnership that
defines Tamarind’s approach to artmaking.”

Paula Wilson is the 2024-2025 artist-in-residence of the Center for Environmental Arts & Humanities (CEAH) at UNM. During her residency, she will be completing a chapter for the forthcoming book Coexistence: BioDiversity in New Mexico, which will be produced by the CEAH and published by the UNM Press in Fall 2026.
