Williams' works are often characterised by vast and brooding landscapes in which alien fortress-like structures seem to belong in some unknown, but enigmatic, drama.

Although seemingly set in the physical world, the solid bunkers and chambers are often placed in brooding landscapes of craggy mountainous terrain under threatening and portentous skies.

The chilling atmosphere of alienation in these images is intended to arouse sensations of fear, anger, loss and emptiness. Williams suggests that 'being forced to face the concept of the void we will experience the interrelation of time place and space, of absence and presence and of personal versus public.' This exhibition it is suggested 'represents the determined look – the level gaze at the un-level playing field.'
