Angharad Williams
(Ynys Môn, Wales) work prompts introspection and critical reflection on the dynamics that govern our lives and environments. Williams’ multifaceted art practice - painting, drawing, writing, sculpture, photography, installation, film and performance - attends to the forms that, hidden in plain sight, serve as projective screens or filters for our most subconscious desires and fears. These often equivocal expressions are rooted in writing, shaped by issues of authority, security and design, and are central to the subjectivation of individuals, their communities and the landscapes they inhabit. Williams’ artworks and exhibitions capture this process as an accumulation of desire, at once avenues of escape from barracks and confinement of all kinds, and candid observations of humankind’s unstable nature, its intrinsic wildness and its blanket violence and sensuality.
