Olivia Williamson is an artist working across print, photography, installation, film, sculpture and writing. Symbols appear again and again, as an intuitive coded, fictionalised communication emerges  - tied to the spirit of the Mediterranean, in the deep blue of the mountains and sea.
‍
Her research Shelter in a post-traumatic landscape examines how trauma remains largely silent - but it is visible in visual culture, living fossils trapping the information of our time, making the invisible visible. 
‍
Since graduating from the Ruskin School of Art, she has directed Dyslexia at Oxford, a visual film and photography project exploring the strengths and challenges of having a different brain wiring. Olivia is also part of the founding team behind Open/Ended Design, a platform for activist designers and thinkers around the world.
