I want to draw attention to issues. I want people to be informed. It’s a scary time. Everything gets integrated into the art, not always consciously. The paintings become a refuge. If I have visibility, I have the responsibility to try and change things. – Sue Williams
Sue Williams addresses issues of politics, gender equality, the female body, and sexuality through the use of concealed messages in abstract, vibrantly colored paintings.
Some works look almost like Pop Art; one of them looks a lot like a brain from Zap! comics. I try not to make them specific, but sometimes they look cool, so I leave them. Others have almost no image, but it’s probably there if you look hard enough. – Sue Williams
