In the White Dawn

By Caro Williams 2023

Charlotte Graham Photography

Aesthetica Art Prize Finalist 2023

’In The White Dawn is inspired by poetry and the natural world. Caro Williams, a London-based installation and mixed-media artist, works with symbols, sound, language and place. Drawing inspiration from everyday experiences – including film clips, lines from poems and sounds – Williams transforms them into new materials through digital manipulation and sculptural installations. This process of translation is akin to a poem in the viewer's mind, suspended in a surreal reality where meaning is ambiguous. It is simultaneously familiar and strangely out of reach.’ – Future Now Anthology, 2023
