Mr. Smith's choice to work in a manner that reflects his sense of wonder in simple geometry, perspective and those elements ability to convey tangible ideas or emotions conveys a kind of visual alchemy that illuminates their simplicity with fractal awareness. His drawings are intended as a poetic response to visual culture. The work reflects an exposure to videogames, puzzles, sticker collections, hand-made Valentine's, and other bits of visual ephemera and activities from Mr. Smith's youth. The intensity of each image is heightened by the repetitious, hand-drawn hexagons that are indicators of the care, attention, and fixation common to his involvement in these youthful activities.

We are open to the public on Saturdays from noon until 6pm or by appointment
