Philip Vaughan-Williams

A UK based Visual Artist, spanning over 20 years of practice with a primary interest in materials, work manifests as 3d artworks, artist books, micro zines, postcards, digital photographs, drawings and mixed media assemblages, that often make comment on society, identity and the geography that is inhabited.



A history of Mail Art participation and archiving as well as making installation and performance work on similar themes as well as political comment and identity. Work also explores the tensions between the ephemeral and permanence, as well as what is considered beautiful or uncomfortable.

I have long been fascinated with materials that have a toxicity to them, lead being on of those materials. Places in contrast to other materials or objects, a tension and dialogue can be had, in the case of 'Temptation', the question of eating something that is pure that has come into contact with a retrial that has potential to contaminate and poison.
