In 2023, Williamson went on a journey of self-discovery around their gender identity, coming out as non-binary - “I always knew I was gay but never felt my view of a gay man fit with the norm. I realised I was neither a he or a she.” Their work over the past two years has shined a light on this second coming out and the finding of a happier place in life and in their Queerness. The Roads We Travel Together continues in the same vein, utilising traditionally ‘masculine’ mixed-media and oil paints with more ‘feminine’-identified practices of Palo Santo, needlework and watercolours to interrogate the wounds of homophobia and the transformative powers of friendship, love, healing and the discoveries made along the way during life’s journey.
