Zoe Williams seduces the senses with a charged interplay of ritual, desire, and excess. Working across installation, moving image, ceramics, drawing, and performance, she creates provocative worlds where collaboration and materiality drive a heady fusion of the erotic and the grotesque. Her practice thrives in moments of tension—between pleasure and discomfort, beauty and distortion—offering sensorial encounters that both captivate and unsettle. Williams’s work delves into non-verbal communication and embodied behaviors, revealing the subtle, often seductive undercurrents that inform human relationships.
