At CCA, Wilson developed an understanding of art within a cultural context, a way of thinking emphasized by CCA instructor, art historian and anthropologist Dr. Ruth Boyer. Subsequently, Wilson's graduate research focused on temporary textile architecture such as the Zulu indlu and the Sub-Saharan African black tent. For Wilson these interests intersected with the popular concerns of generative systems, such as the methods being pioneered by artist

consist of daily stitching where the artist "stained" clean white scraps of cloth with small patches of hair-based needlework. Wilson began inviting audience participation with her project ''Hairinquiry'' (1996–1999). ''Hairinquiry'' collected responses to the questions: How does it feel to lose your hair? What does it mean to cut your hair? The project was later archived through an online website.Newell, Laurie Britton. "Anne Wilson in conversation with Laurie Britton Newell: Chicago, November 2006."

/ref> In 2002, Wilson began the series ''Topologies'' (2002-ongoing) at the Whitney Museum of American Art's Biennial exhibition. In ''Topologies'', expansive networks of found black lace are deconstructed to create large horizontal topographies. Some of the structures are formed by Wilson from computer-mediated scans of lace fragments that are manipulated and re-materialized by hand stitching. The form of ''Topologies'' is inspired by forms of physical and electronic networks, city structures, immateriality, biology and the urban sprawl.Anne Wilson ''Topologies'' (2002-ongoing)

in East Tennessee. ''Local Industry'', a central component of the exhibition ''Anne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave'', was a site-specific installation as a collaborative "textile factory". From January 22 through April 25, 2010, visitors to the Knoxville Museum of Art worked together to produce a bolt of cloth. Wilson conceived of ''Wind/Rewind/Weave'' as a meditation on labor, acknowledging the specific geographic location of the Knoxville Museum of Art in the historical heartland of both hand weaving traditions and textile mill production in the United States. The ''Local Industry'' cloth, long, was on display at the Knoxville Museum of Art in 2011. Also related to textile production in content, Wilson has choreographed 4 thread walking performances, conceptual movement works based upon weaving (''Wind-Up: Walking the Warp Chicago''
