Jeff Smith: Work Ahead
May 3 - June 21
In this show are examples of wood and steel collage. Jeff uses the original paint and patina of found materials to create unified compositions. His newest work explores one sub medium, the found broomstick, to rehabilitate one familiar shape, the warning sign. The diamond shaped warning sign was intended to be used sparingly for maximum impact. Its overuse has depleted its ability to warn as it fades into the white noise of the American roadside. Smith is taking this once powerful shape, and reclaiming it for art. This shape is now fully domesticated and can be enjoyed at your leisure.
