Bedwyr Williams

"Williams work includes performance, sculpture and painting, posters and photography.

He draws on his own experiences, utilising humour to reveal both his and our own complex neurosis and idiosyncrasies. His installation, text based works and live performances explore subject matter ranging from growing up in Colwyn Bay with size 13 feet, to a mini bus crash with four other artists in residence (in which he is the only survivor).

"It must have been clear to Ron that I was as much of a Blues devotee as he was – and it could well have been our shared devotion that had a bearing on his eventual decision to accept us as worthy. It also helped us to stick with him through the early interpersonal ungainliness caused by his acerbic intensity. Music was a passion that welded us together and whatever other music we liked—amongst an assortment of various’n’different—we all loved Blues. Ron was particularly excited by the fact that I knew about older Blues – Delta Blues and Country Blues. "
