From the South Dallas Cultural Center:
SDCC is pleased to present the work of Talley Williams. A self-taught artist, Williams sculptural pieces are inspired by her dreams, visions, and premonitions. Her work is deeply conceptual, evoking both spirit and nature to encourage conversation and reflection. Williams is based out of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
From the artist:
“On May 5th of 2010, I experienced what is called an OBE, or “out of body experience.’
With no prior training nor inclination, I woke up painting. Initially images came to me in dreams ,visions, and premonitions. During these altered states completed image appeared before me. Instruction on brushstrokes, color, and the message within the piece were provided as well. The images are derived from a realm outside time and space. They are spiritual in nature; topographies of life’s sub atomic energy prior to forming matter.
My work is provocative, it makes use of sculpture, installation, performance and conceptual art garments. I have exhibited throughout the metro plex
My current collection makes use of textile canvas and book. Imagery and code take form to communicate the complexity of war. Textile patterns is employed to convey repetitious patterns within war. The subject of the piece is both hero and victim in the same weave…”
