Amanda Williams’ debut exhibition at Casey Kaplan, Run Together and Look Ugly After the First Rain, reimagines George Washington Carver’s 1927 Prussian Blue pigment formula, bringing it to life as "Innovation Blue." In collaboration with chemistry students at The University of Chicago and Xavier University, Williams revives Carver’s use of local Alabaman red clay to create a new blue pigment, exploring the intersections of color, Black identity, and social significance. Her works, including paintings and collages, use the pigment to create abstracted shadows and corporeal impressions, reflecting on history, memory, and the power of color as a marker of liberatory space.
