This event is FULL as of Friday, June 14, 2013. Currently accepting WAIT LISTED registrations ONLY.
In the exhibit, Smith weaves together seemingly unrelated subject matter – sculpture, biomathematics, video, physics, fractal geometry, diesel mechanics – to create artworks that highlight how the natural world interacts around us. Lunch follows the tour, and during this time participants have the chance to ask the artist about his background, work, and inspiration. Smith lives and works in southern Illinois and is represented by P.P.O.W Gallery, New York. He received a certificate in mechanics from Ranken Technical Institute, a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Chemistry from Southern Illinois University, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.
