Trystan Williams works with found text and objects. Both the text and the objects are ephemeral in nature: Williams sources the text from online community forums that are generally unarchived and accessible only to members; and he finds the objects during perambulatory walks through the city. Once engraved and documented, the objects are often returned to their original site.
