Parable Bodies

Parable Bodies brings together essays, reflections, and conversations surrounding the work of artist Moses Williams, whose sculptures, installations, and films explore the unstable boundaries between body, landscape, ritual, and matter.

"The viewer encounters a world that feels recognisable and yet fundamentally altered, as though the ordinary textures of existence had been reorganised according to unfamiliar rules."

—Rina Arya

"Immersion, in Williams's work, is less an occasion for panic than an affirmation of the world. If the division between dirt and purity is a condition for the sacred, then overcoming this distinction becomes its deepest aspiration."

-Tom Williams
