Bernard Williams


Creating Sculptures from the Ornamental Systems of Sullivan
This exhibition at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, Illinois, runs August 28 - October 8, 2005.
A new series of works that manipulate the decorative patterns found in the Chicago area landmarks by the architect Louis Sullivan. An updated version of Sullivan’s mantra "form follows function", Williams insists that "form functions as structure'. Williams injects these sculptures with shapes excavated from our city’s landscape and freed from their facades provoking the viewer to reconsider the decorative features that surround us.
