Nadine Smith - Hidden Depths
Poles apart from their initial function, Nadine breathes a sense of life back into the discarded in her whimsical creations. Her innovative use of materials creates a tension between the familiar and the unknown. Dig deeper and the inner child at play is considering the materiality of human consumption and what this means for our planet. Objects that come from dark and light places to contemplate our shared humanity. A background in nursing and growing concerns for our environment inform her interdisciplinary practice. Pieces often reference the fragility of life and her relationship with an increasingly chaotic world.
