Vassanji.
Off-camera, Wilkins has engaged his sitters in a series of personal questions, exploring their hopes, fears and ideals.
The resulting likenesses embody the process of "sitting" itself, pushing the traditional idea of portraiture by adding the dimension of time.
The exhibition was curated by Bruce Johnson for The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery in St. John's, NL.
These works have been exhibited at The Rooms Provincial Gallery in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and the entire suite was purchased by the Portrait Gallery of Canada in 2008.

The Colour of Wine investigates and celebrates the varying and contrasting colours of wine.

The wines featured in this series are Beaujolais (Gamay), Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Malbec, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Zinfandel.
These works will be shown at the Toronto International Art Fair, 2013.
They are large format, (6 ft x 4 ft) photographic artworks which incorporate the classic Dutch still life of the 17th century, mid 20th century color-field abstract expressionism melded with contemporary large format photography.
Each artwork studies a single colour – so, Red, for instance is made up of cooked lobster, strawberries, red wine, red apples, raspberries, roses, steak (rare)and paint to reference the history of still life.
All this items are photographed individually and then arranged in horizontal lines that create new patterns, tonal changes of colour and relationships between the items.
The artworks are conceived to work on a number of levels –the viewers initial impression is of a red image, but upon closer inspection the documentary detail of the still life is revealed.
The scale is also important as it helps the viewer become lost in colour and then discover the detail.
The colours used are Red, White, Blue and Yellow.
A new series of Kinetic Portraits based on Canadian musicians, including solo artists and groups of all genres.
The series is currently in process.
New Grooves is inspired by album covers and are Wilkins’s endeavor to capture the colour and pictorial elements of the original album artwork.
These elements are digitally re-mixed and abstractly represented as circular artworks – mimicking the scale and size of the vinyl record using the original artwork to create a new emblematic aesthetic of the album cover.
At first glance the works are experiments in colour.
A playful element ensues as the view tries to guess the source of the cover.
