As a lifelong artist, Emily C. Smith is always looking for the next opportunity to translate her everyday experiences into artistic expressions. With degrees from UC Santa Cruz, UC San Diego and NYU, Emily continues to push the boundaries to explore her personal vision through paint. PLANKS is a color experiment exposing color to random environments. The work is in flux and travels from public spaces to corporate offices, private homes to outdoor gardens. The installation temps the viewer to challenge perspectives and take note of their conditions within environments. The paintings have a makeshift magnetism, a frequency, that invents new identities for every space it is placed. Planks are made from donated wood from a skate board company in San Diego, Ca. The work has been in progress since 2000.
