Caro Williams

London
London-based artist Caro Williams explores symbols, sound, and place through her installations and mixed media works. Inspired by literature, poetry, and nature, she blurs reality with imagination, merging the ethereal with the tangible.

Caro Williams, a London-based interdisciplinary artist, explores symbols, sound, language, and place through her installations and mixed media works. Drawing inspiration from literature, poetry, and the natural world, her art invites viewers into a dreamlike space where meaning hovers ambiguously. Through diverse methodologies, Caro transforms everyday experiences into new materials, creating a poetic strangeness where sounds morph into materials and text transcends paper. Her installations merge the ethereal with the tangible, sparking interpretations that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination.

Caro exhibits nationally and internationally, receiving recognition for her work, including awards and funding such as the Creative New Zealand WW1 Centenary Co-commissioning Fund (2016). She co-curated exhibitions like "Contemporary Art + Ritual" at the Crypt Gallery, London (2019), and her installations have been featured in prestigious venues such as Wells Art Contemporary, Wells Cathedral (2022), and the Royal Society of Sculptors Summer Exhibition, London (2022). Notably, Caro was awarded the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery – Museum at Large Public Art Commission, Exeter (2021), for her large-scale mixed media light and sound installation, "Lark Song," and her work "In the White Dawn" was shortlisted for the 2023 Aesthetica Art Prize.

Caro is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS)
