Wildenboer often works with the medium of the altered book. Her work mainly consists of photo- and paper-construction and digitally animated photographic sculpture (in collaboration with Michelle Prevost). She uses a combination of analogue and digital processes to create sculptural photographic work which explores phenomena such as temporality, fractal geometry and the interconnectedness of all living things and often works across academic disciplines to create systems/structures/composites that draw emphasis to our understanding of experience as mediated through text or language and our understanding of the abstract terms of science through the useof imagery and metaphor.
