Stuart Williams’ first widely published site-specific installation, “Five Orange Spheres,” was a traveling series of 16 installations and spanned a time period of over 2.5 years. Some of the locations included Central Park, New York; Château d’Azay-Le-Rideau, France; Filisur, Switzerland; and San Francisco. Since then the artist has continued to create surreal and transitory site installations on both sides of the Atlantic. How simple of a thought and he turned it into a monumentally bold statement.
