About
Living with a memory disorder, along with a family history of dementia and Alzheimer’s, profoundly influences Amadi's relationship with memory. To navigate this challenge, her family archive becomes essential for recalling and conveying narratives. When beginning a new painting, she often calls her grandmother to share stories that contextualize the figures being portrayed, enriching the work and anchoring memories in the narratives expressed.
She questions the truth of memory through abstraction,using geometric shapes to find a simple yet profound language that resonates with shared emotions. Thus creating an open space that invites viewers—especially family members—into a dialogue about their own feelings and recollections.
In addition to painting, Amadi explores storytelling through online resources such as data sites and public archives, focusing on underrepresented groups. Her practice involves various mediums in the pursuit of effective narrative conveyance. By engaging in roles like conservation fellow and curator, she aims to deepen understanding of the art world and create inclusive spaces that honor diverse histories. Ultimately, this work transforms memory into a visual language, fostering connections that bridge the past and present.
Currently, Williams is advancing her artistic practice through the Rhode Island School of Design’s undergraduate program, with plans to graduate in the Spring of 2025.
