Kim Williams: The Long View

Kim Williams in collaboration with Tim van den Berg, Forecast, 2009, pigmented cement polymer, recycled paper, mixed media and sound

As an artist, Williams identifies with the land in a way that farmers, explorers, bushwalkers and others would understand. Keenly interested in the scars on the land of this ancient continent, Williams’s artwork explores our collective fate as it is tied up with the landscape. A centre piece of this exhibition includes the installation ‘Forecast’ which consists of a shredded paper cloud which hangs above the ground and as a ‘recalcitrant rainmaker’, if promises far more than it delivers – as noted by Dr Michael Beare when talking about William’s work.
