Williams grew up in Cefn, near St Asaph, N.Wales.Throughout her career
she has articulated the way a Welsh background flows into her work.This
Articulation of a particular 'Welsh' content can be interpreted in
a variety of ways. It is seen most obviously in the way her work makes
references to spoken and written language. It is also present when
we think of more general associations in her work. We must ask ourselves
how much that which is distinctive in her sculpture is due to a 'Welshness'
that would not recur should it be transferred rhetorically to another
location. Conversely, how much of the apparent 'Welshness' is due
to the signifiers of a separate and distinct culture - farming, Celtic
yet Methodist, trapped between suburban and rural - which happen to
all be characteristic of her part of Wales. 'Michael Tooby' |
