Glenn Williams, a sculptor and professor, will give a
lecture at 7 p.m. March 9 in the Boise State University Student Union
Lookout Room. The free event is open to the public and is sponsored by the
Boise State Art Department.
Williams, an assistant professor of sculpture at Northwest Missouri State
University, mainly uses fabricated steel in his sculptures. His works have
appeared around the nation, including the 2004 exhibition Underground
Railroad at Northern Kentucky University. Williams’ sculptures use narrative
and metaphor to deal with issues of identity.
“I believe that our reality is based on our perception of the truth, a truth
that is shaped by our experiences,” Williams said. “In my work I explore
various elements of the human condition, particularly those aspects of the
human condition that influence our sense of identity. I draw from personal
experiences, current political topics, historical references and literary
sources to address themes of alienation, growth and perserverance.”
