the other option is to slow down

by Amanda Williams (Author, Editor), Emma Chubb (Editor, Essayist), Grace Deveney (Essayist)

In June and July 2019, Amanda Williams spent foundational time at Smith College as the inaugural artist in the Smith College Museum of Art’s (SCMA) Artist-in-Residence Program. This publication provides a cross section of Williams’s experiences on campus through her photographs, collages, monoprints, and sketchbooks. For Williams, the residency offered a kind of parenthesis—the time and space to slow down—in the midst of an ever busier career. It also laid the groundwork for Williams’s 2020-22 commission for SCMA, entitled An Imposing Number of Times.
