“Sunday Afternoon II (2001) is bathed in the lush colour of a post-war movie and slowed in tempo. A figure lies prone on the floor in a living-room while two dogs, made giant by the ground-level view, insistently lap at her body with their impossibly wet tongues. Lifeless or acquiescent? Corpse or lover? The scene is ambiguous in its cause, unambiguous in its effect: a disquieting conjunction of death and bestial eroticism.”
– Kate Bush, Photographer’s Gallery (2002)

This film was made in the final year of Williams (Gamaker’s) BA in Fine Art, at Middlesex University, and during this period she made several works featuring her dogs.
In memory of Boris (1996-2004) and Heidi Williams (1997-2010), creative collaborators, friends and multiple award-winners.
