The New York-based artist doesn’t shy away from tackling our most sacred cultural symbols; spinning, slanting, and altogether refashioning them until they transform into subversive monuments with audacious alternate meanings. This March, Williams is unveiling two new sculptures in the Whitney Biennial. To celebrate the occasion, fellow renegade sculptor Hugh Hayden dropped by Williams’ studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, looking to talk shop and learn the recipe for deep-frying the red, white, and blue.
