Williams combines gestural marks and free flow paint to create her paint-ings that are assembled in physical space.

People can walk through and around her work and choose any of an infinite number of viewpoints to experience her work. Her work is made on-site and assembled in arrangements that are unique to that time and that place. Even pieces that are kept afterwards, can be reassembled – in any combination, as no work is seen in the same way twice.

Williams’s work is time based. Her work is temporal. It mirrors the reality of our lives in a moment-by-moment sequence of decisions, influences, vulnerabilities and knowledge. She imagines her painted marks in a place, paints them and then spends time problem solving to bring elements into a formula of visual sense. The whole process from conception through completion is a very public display, and the work holds within it all the hope, joy, fear and struggles the artist wrangles with during the creation of the work.

Described as a generous artist, Williams has devised a system that widens understanding with the public, she is focused to exchange visual conversations with people who may not be confident with experiencing abstract contemporary paint-ing. PaDA is Painting as A Democratic Act and Williams often invites people to Make Their Marks onto a screen where they can see through onto marks of paint she has already installed. Williams knows that better than explaining work, experience is more of a powerful tool. If people can experience a small element of the decision making process of choosing a colour, deciding a shape, a size, a placement, ….then we can open up understanding, visual dialogue and access. People are then asked to take photographs, compositions of what they see and share online.

When the installation comes to an end, all that remain are the photographs taken by the public. Abstract painted images presented as photographed image. Owned by the public.
