Alexis Williams is an artist working with timber. His practice is spontaneous, intuitive, and conceptual, balancing function and form through experimentation. In the sculpting process, he is driven by the inherent character of timber and fascinated by the elemental exchange with open flame.

Williams approaches making work with openness and engages in a visceral rhythm, revealing subtle nuances and characteristics of the wood. He finesses the work with an instinctual intensity which is crucial to his oeuvre. The finished form is often an ambiguous anthropomorphic functional object that can shift the mood and experience of a space.

Based in Northern NSW and working from his studio in Skinners Shoot, Byron Bay, Williams graduated from RMIT Melbourne in 2018 with an Associate Degree in Design (Furniture). His practice now spans private and commercial commissions, shaped through a collaborative ethos with architects, designers, and creative studios across Northern NSW, Sydney, and Melbourne. His recent collaborators include Folk Architects, Pattern Studios, Rob Kennon Architects, Adyn Kelly, Tanev Muir, Fearon, St. Agni, and Lucy Folk.

A selection of works are available at Tigmi Trading (Byron Bay, Australia) and Claude Home (New York, USA), and are also available by direct commission. His works are held in private collections throughout Australia and internationally.
