About the Item
Places In The Heart, Nut wood sculpture on steel base, female nude, brown, Williams
Sculptor Troy Williams unites the timeless and the contemporary in sculptures of rare beauty and meaning Beyond all the narrative potential of the three obvious physical dimensions of Troy Williams’ sculpture, there are many other considerations that contribute greatly to the enjoyment, appreciation, and understanding of his entrancing 360-degree works of figurative art. Among these are the emotional responses and intellectual interpretations that first go into the artist’s creative process and then into every subsequent spectator’s viewings at least somewhat differently each time. Some artists insist on leaving these entirely up to each viewer, but Williams is glad to enrich the experience by inviting the viewer in for a little insight into the artist’s intention. Certain ambiguities and unintended provocations might otherwise arise, as Williams uses original combinations of materials or ideas in highly original ways. Williams specializes in figurative and facial sculptures hewn from fallen woods he finds while running near his home in the mountains of north-central New Mexico. Williams has in the past worked with exotic woods, but now avoids them in a desire to protect the people, plants, and animals that depend on a vibrant, healthy, and unexploited local ecosystems. Finding dead and downed wood also introduces an element of serendipitous chance into the sculptor’s process of selection and inspiration. Nature provides an exquisite mass of workable solids, surfaces, patterns, and curves in cottonwood and the many varieties of juniper this sculptor favors. Troy Williams simply rescues these from the elements and then elevates them to timeless treasures by relating them to themes that express our deepest nature. Awake to the most beautiful twists, turns, and striations already present in these found mediums, Williams is naturally and passionately drawn to every stage of freeing the underlying sculpture. Following the wood’s ingrained tendencies is always a creative guide for Williams.

Troy Williams
Troy Williams is a gifted and dedicated sculptor. He has studied in the United States and Europe, and his work can be found in private collections around the world. A full-time sculptor since the early 80s, Williams feels his most valuable education has come from the experience of sculpting. The subject of his sculpture ranges from inspiring liturgical works to a more abstract sculpture representing moments or beings expressed in human form. Williams has a wide variety of styles that range from the classical representational figures to more stylized figures with suggestive lines and sweeping movement. Although his work ranges in style and subject, they all carry a figurative theme reflecting our deepest nature. Williams's most recent work may be found here and at Glenn Green Galleries.
