HUNK WILLIAMS
Reg Arthur, who works under the name Hunk Williams, is a Welsh textile artist and absurdist whose work embraces playfulness, imperfection and individuality. Using reclaimed fabrics and vintage materials, he creates one-off textile pieces that celebrate bold colour, texture and imagination. Each quilt, garment or stitched form resists the uniformity of mass production, instead embodying care, humour and the spirit of the handmade.
His approach to craft is both sustainable and subversive, transforming discarded textiles into objects of value and beauty while challenging the culture of overconsumption. Reg’s work celebrates the potential of imperfection, treating irregularities as marks of character rather than flaws. His practice is defined by a defiant love of the handmade and a resistance to fast fashion, placing humour and individuality at the centre of his work.
