The Spirit Installation

Much like the improvisational nature of the best jazz, Duncan-Williams’ work starts with a thin, penciled outline on a special board from which the rest of the composition evolves. After the sketch, Prince spreads adhesive on the board and carefully hand-lays the rows of silk threads which work around a spiral and, every so often, changes direction, creating facets, patterns and depth. These contrasting flows of colorful thread enhance the texture and mood of each dazzling image, creating a truly unique art form. Claiming inspiration from artists such as Matisse, Picasso and Romero Bearden, Prince also acknowledges the influence of jazz on his work. He especially has a soft spot for the music of the contemporary English jazz artist Paul Hardcastle, which can usually be heard as Duncan-Williams creates his newest work of art. Above all, Prince says, the music reminds him what all of his creations should be: smooth, cool and utterly unforgettable.
