British artist Lucy Williams redefines the idea of collages. Her detailed, low-relief work focuses on mid-20th century Modernist architecture and involves the careful layering of materials such as card, Perspex, fabric, thread and pillow stuffing. Each material is layered precisely by the artist to illustrate railings, lamp cords and other structural elements. In an interview with Wallpaper magazine Williams says she sees her vacant images as spaces to be inhabited. "The era was about belief, ideas that we now no longer hold, of social cohesion through the design of a building, Utopian dreams long dissipated," Williams says in her interview. She's currently showing her first solo exhibition in London "Beneath a Woolen Sky," at the Timothy Taylor Gallery. Williams has had solo exhibits at the McKee Gallery in New York in 2004 and 2006. She has her B.A. in fine art from the Glasgow School of Art and her postgraduate diploma in Fine Art and Painting from the Royal Academy School.
