Thank you for this wonderful piece on Williams. I recall encountering one of his amazing clocks at the Midsummer Place shopping centre in Milton Keynes, on my one and only visit to that ‘new town’. At first glance, it seemed a bit incongruous with all the glazed malls, but the shopping centre has a few other pieces of art too - including a bronze seat by the sculptor Bill Woodrow (can’t remember if you were allowed to sit on it!). As shopping centres go, it’s quite pretty and it was lovely to see Williams’ work in such a public setting.
Thank you for sharing and discussing, I've been a KW 'fan' for many years beginning in my time as an art student and then in the decades that followed as an art lecturer, wonderful work.
Hi, Alexander––Wow! I'm not used to bumping into posts on Masquerade. So fun! I thought it might be equally fun for you to know that my father with the original publisher of the book & I have on my shelf the metal type used to print the title. The playfulness, whimsey, and good weirdness I grew up with continues at my company, Enchanted Lion Books.
