The Charles
Street Gallery in Beaufort, SC, Features Works by Caroll Williams
The
Charles Street Gallery in Beaufort, SC, will present the exhibit,
Simply/Found: Assemblage and Collage by Caroll Williams,
on view from Jan. 15 through Feb. 6, 2010.
Williams' 30-year career in graphic design gave her a strong foundation for the work she does now with assemblage and collage. She blends these three elements, and their shades of communication, repurposing, and onion-peeling, into objects of fine art.
"I believe in the serendipity of found objects - their perfectly imperfect shapes, the colors that I couldn't create myself, the precise amount of weathering needed," Williams explained. "In my work, I try to evoke in the viewer a respect for the naked honesty of old and discarded objects given new life. It's an endlessly fascinating challenge to work with old wood, paper and metal - to combine them while letting their natural beauty show through, altering them as little as possible from the state in which I found them."
The Charles Street Gallery is an established source for Lowcountry and international art, presented within a carefully renovated house surrounded by a lush garden in the middle of Beaufort's historic district.
