ALICE WILLIAMS
Alpine Flock
Playing with perceptions of space and scale, Alice Williams draws attention to the rockery, on one hand an apparently miniaturized Alpine landscape and yet also an example of a particular form of gardening used to emphasize and exaggerate size.
By placing fake sheep amongst the rockery, she examines how our visual experiences may be modified and how on occasion, what we perceive to be real can actually be a fiction, ideas about the abstraction of experience are exposed.
Williams’ installation is site specific to the gardens; however the ideas behind her work are universal, designed to stimulate the viewer into questioning their own place within any given space.
