Kerrie Smith builds her abstract compositions with multiple layers of pattern, color, and an array of techniques and tools, as she seeks a balance between feral nature and its geometrical armature. With a mindful intention to capture not only the grandeur but also the unpredictability and potential for crisis in our environment, Smith’s work challenges conventions of organic and artificial beauty. Distilling a sense of place from encounters with the natural and industrial worlds -- and especially their intersections -- Smith evokes paradoxical, even contradictory emotions at the same time. Optimism and expansiveness, threat and distress, symmetry and entropy, creation and destruction.
