Candida Powell Williams
Candida Powell Williams’ sculptures and performances explore slippages of memory and storytelling over time. Her limited edition, which is part of our Curated Editions collection New Mythologies, is informed by visual patterns and human ways of ordering the chaotic universe.
Limited edition: Orbit within the Echoes
This vibrant limited edition by Candida Powell-Williams is presented in a handmade circular plywood frame and features 3D laser-cut dancing figures.
Orbit within the Echoes: Performance and Sculptural Installation
The edition began as a preparatory study for a performance piece called Orbit within the echoes which was live at Whitechapel Gallery’s Nocturnal Creatures event and at Capel Manor Gardens in the summer of 2021.
The performance of five dancers in a garden drew inspiration from the history and design of labyrinths and their association with dancing.
