Since she was a kid Moira Williams has believed in and practiced levitation. As an unsuccessful levitator, she continues to listen and look for exchanges of phenomena. For Moira, exchanges of wonder are opportunities found in the reciprocity of gestures among people, the individual and nature. She creates participatory works that bring people together and make explicit the complexity of their community and the environment. Her work is shaped by a spirit of relatedness, a relatedness that may be found in the gestures of exchange, by codes of how individuals and groups might relate to one another; how we really might exchange a glance, a word a gesture or a language; how we might negotiate something we call our ethical responsibility towards one another and develop possible ways for reciprocity and eternal levitation.
