Influenced by household craft traditions and historical styles of ornament, Williams’s deeply personal work—rich with material and conceptual experimentation—addresses elemental themes of sexuality and desire, fantasy and reality, life and death. 2017 What’s Inside All the iPhones Bloomberg Businessweek Website design Website development “The device has seeded entire industries…and sent the stock prices of suppliers soaring.
