Paul Smith | Oil on Panel | 8 x 10 inches

“My work documents my interest in the lost and the found, what is passing out of memory and what is synthesized as trace in the landscape. Exploring lost places and capturing the essence of a moment of abandonment has been part of my practice since my earliest work, photographing the post-industrial landscape of the Northeast. More recently I have used these explorations of localities on the verge of returning to unofficial wilderness in dialogue with found material. Working between these two sources has informed a broader turn in my works to consider layering’s and cuttings: the process of collage by which territory is shaped into landscape by human action.” – Paul
