Rosalie Grey Lamb Smith
b. 1993 Blacksburg, VA
I am an artist based in New Orleans, LA. As an interdisciplinary artist, I collect non-art objects that speak to grief and attachment. In manipulating the detritus, I explore humanity's futile attempts to control our environment in the face of ephemeral truth. I am drawn to natural erosion of the built environment, the illusion of permanence, and the inevitability of loss. I work with concept driven media, including resin, found materials, wood, heat transfer images, and monotype printmaking techniques. In my work I replicate processes of documentation and preservation, exposing their fallibility.
