Virgin Saints and other paraphernalia
Liz Williams - new ceramics
Inspired by the dramatic spectacle of Catholic ritual Williams’ works reflects its rich hagiography whilst speculating on the strange psychological phenomenon surrounding the panoply of virgin saints. Williams’ fascination with the theatricality of Catholicism was first piqued when she encountered the dramatic processions of Semana Santa in Spain, its penitent citizens dragging their shackled feet and bearing heavy floats laiden with Easter images, flowers and candles. Intrigued by the power of this imagery, Williams’ interest was furthered by her study of the intimate portrayals of virgin saints, leading her to unlock the histories and mythologies of these women.
