Homespun Tales

This sculpture, made by Smith is elegance itself. Made with careful strokes from different tools, the women looks almost really, as if she is looking right at us, trying to send a message. While there is no color Smith did a wonderful job using her materials to bring out the life in the sculpture.

Kiki Smith is mostly known for her painting and drawing but succeeds greatly in her sculpting. Smith chooses to draw, paint and sculpt in a different way, she wants to create a story with her strokes of pencil, clay and paint. What she tries to tell in all her artwork is metaphor of social issues. They are hidden within her artwork of women and men. Smith has also worked with clothing, printing body part on them with a secret meaning of social issues for women and men alike.
