KANE WILLIAMS is a sculptor and painter, working mainly with used skateboard decks.
My art practice takes me away from the everyday, allowing me to create my own little world - a space where I can freely express myself. Art making gives me the feeling that I can kind of live forever - through the work I make.
I often work alone, tucked away in my bedroom, but more recently I’ve begun working in group spaces, alongside other artists, collaborating on bigger projects. Working with others connects me to wider audiences who get to glimpse what I do, share in it, judge it. It’s unnerving, even scary, but also cool.
Kane recently participated in a large city based exhibition where he sold several of his skateboard artworks. The Hall & Wilcox Art Exhibition and Acquisition Program (Melbourne) was an amazing opportunity. Whilst I was a bit overwhelmed, it was great to interact with such a large audience in such a professional setting. And, the rush I got from selling my first works was the most incredible feeling.
