Zoe Williams explores the non-verbal means of communication and the physical behaviours, which connect the unspoken, often seductive intentions underlying human relations. She creates sensory experiences that shift towards the viewer, which are both hedonistic in nature, yet penetrating; this slow exchange between the object and its viewer thus puts into motion a stimulating and intimate dialogue around sex, power and desire, placing the spectator into the uncomfortable position of voyeur.
