Amanda Williams
American, born 1974
BiographyAmanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. She explores the intersection of race and the built environment through an interdisciplinary practice that brings spatial and aesthetic theory to bear on real social problems. Her creative practice employs color as an operative means for drawing attention to the complex ways race informs how we assign value to the spaces we occupy. Williams's installations, sculptures, paintings, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar and, in the process, raise questions about the inequitable state of urban space and ownership in America.
