description
George Washington Carver was a pioneer of plant-based engineering and one of the United States’ earliest proponents of sustainable agriculture. A practicing artist, Carver used natural materials such as peanut and clay-derived dyes and paints in his weavings and paintings. World Without End explores how contemporary artists and scientists engage with Carver’s ideas. Alongside recent works, the exhibition and its catalog include previously unpublished material documenting Carver’s life and work.
