About Caro Williams

I am a London-based visual artist. My art practice makes use of a wide range of materials and processes to create installations, sculptures, visual poems, sound and mixed media work. Frequently referencing poetry and the natural world, as well as diverse cultural and historical narratives, much of my work incorporates text, spoken words, and field recordings. Central to my art is an ongoing fascination with the exploration of the relationship between language, sound, nuance and space. I graduated from AUT Auckland, where I received a postgraduate research scholarship and gained a Master’s of Art with first class honours. I exhibits widely and have received a number of awards for my work, including the Wallace Postgraduate Award (Visual Arts), the 2013 Gen-i Selector’s Award for my installation at Headland Sculpture, I have been a finalist in both the 2014 Wallace Arts Awards and Premio Celeste 2015, and am a 2016 recipient of Creative New Zealand World War 1 Centenary (WW100) Co-commissioning Fund. My work is held in public and private collections including the Wallace Arts Trust, New Zealand and Luciano Benetton Imago Mundi Collection, Italy. I am a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors MRBS and am currently working on Cicatrix, an international artists collaborative projec
