Zoe Williams, Figure of vice 3 (Gold to water-flesh over pearls)
My practice incorporates a range of mediums including moving image, ceramics, drawing and performance and is often collaborative in its process and outcome. These elements are combined to create immersive objects and environments, which conjure a playful and corrosive interchange between notions of the erotic, craft, magic, gender, hedonism and excess. Through the cross contamination of these influences, I wish to provoke conversations around the pressures of power, the politics of sex and the economics of production. My work explores the shifting use values of objects and rituals through history and within contemporary society. Food also plays a prevalent role within my practice, as a tool for exchange, disgust, and sensuality.
