Blue Portrait

Acquaetta Williams has created a wide variety of work across media, often inspired by stories of African and African-American women. Regardless of media, her work emphasizes color, pattern, and shape. Taking a non-traditional approach to glass and experimenting with techniques such as sandblasting and incorporating found materials from her travels into her work, Williams draws parallels between the fragility of her medium, spirituality, and the human figure, as seen in Cut Vessel.
