The 14th/ 20th Kings Hussars Memorial Sculpture

3 years ago, I received a phone call From a Chap named Darren Walker. He asked if I could create a regimental hawk memorial sculpture from items found in the scrap bins of a few army barracks in the UK.The piece was to somehow be set within a stone obelisk We obtained retired tools, cogs and gears, as well as an array of nuts and bolts and miscellaneous items.I was invited into this project as an artist to create a visual representation and likeness of the Hawk insignia with the orb and sceptre. My vision was to create the piece with clearly defined detail for the front of the sculpture,as it will be viewed through the stone.I also wanted to add a more rugged sculptural element with a contemporary concept to represent the officers, infantry, engineers, personnel, operatives and individuals that make up an army regiment.The oval hole in the stone obelisk was cut by hand by talented stone mason Nick Johnson. The sculpture has a back plate which is bolted to a 40mm glass rod running through the centre of the hole. The sculpture has been galvanized and painted This piece is now a permanent memorial at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Richard Seager Annual Arts Award

​I've recently been a judge on a panel for the Richard Seager Annual Arts Award. The winner will receive a commission to create their winning design for a public access gate for the Butterfly Conservation charity.

All the judges met in Mayfair London last week to decide the shortlist of applicants. Interviews will be held on 21st February.

I will be offering practical help and guidance to the winner as well as the shortlisted applicants (where my field of expertise is relevant). Good luck to all involved!

Release The Kraken!

​This whopping 2.3 metre wall hanging beastie is on it's way to its new home this week. I'm really happy with how this has come out. This is my work in progress, a photo of the finished piece can be found in my Gallery.

​The piece is mounted to a little invention of mine which allows the user to flip large sculptures over for ease of welding from behind. This is proving to save me much time and effort. I call it the Speasel (short for spinning easel).

    Alan Williams Metal Artist

    I make sculptural artworks from mostly found and recycled metal.  My creative exploration began in my childhood, making fantastical hybrid creatures using old toys and a tube of glue. Today I make animals and creatures from mostly found and recycled metal; transforming every day objects into detailed, sculptural artworks.
