Caro Williams is a London-based artist working across sculpture, sound, and installation. Her practice is a quiet investigation into memory, language, place, and the traces time leaves behind. Drawing on literature, poetry, and the natural world, she translates everyday fragments — lines from poems, field recordings, film stills, voices, and bird song — into new material forms. This process of transformation is itself a kind of poetry, inviting the viewer into a space that feels familiar and yet just out of reach, where meaning can shift and open.

Much of Caro’s work listens. She attends to the fading presence of birdsong, the weight of spoken words, the interplay between what remains visible and what slips toward absence. Sound becomes visible, language becomes sculptural, and silence acquires shape. Her installations and sound-based pieces offer spaces for stillness, resonance, and reflection, revealing the vulnerability and quiet wonder of the world around us.

Caro exhibits both nationally and internationally. Recent recognition includes selection for the Aesthetica Art Prize shortlist and inclusion in exhibitions with the Royal Society of Sculptors and public art commissions. Her work is held in private and public collections.

Caro is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors
