Artist Statement....
Working in a number of different disciplines including painting, sculpture, installation, video and sound.
Alan Williams' aims to express and communicate certain ideas the subconscious, media, society, representations of sex and bizarre sexual fantasies. A strategic emphasis in producing the work is not entirely placed on the transmission of information, but rather on how meaning is perceived. The idea of translation and the notion of narrative and language is a recurrent motif throughout his body of work..

He is interested in how meaning is displaced, in how circumstances are re-contextualised through memory, recognition, and confusion. Obsessed with relationships between object and body, the importance of roles and existence and ideas of nothingness and immaterial matter he has produced various small illustrative books, installations, music, small and large-scale drawings and most recently sculptures and videos incorporating sound. A common thread between work and idea has been a tendency to appropriate media, emotion and object.
