About Residue Of A Violent Event
Known for her idiosyncratic cartographic explorations of the psyche and mental states, Smith incorporates outer and inner geographical regions in this piece. Referencing Situationists's concepts of psychogeographical mapping Patricia Smith created works for this series which incorporate locations in Paris and other European cities that had inspired these concepts. In her wanderings (dérives) through unfamiliar places, the artist gathered impressions of physical space, the residue of history, related emotional states, synchronicities and other details to map a specific place, time and point of view. The finished works are delicate, highly detailed paintings on paper incorporating images and texts rendered in ink, pencil, watercolor, rubber stamping and collage.
