Roberta Smith, Painter of mood and mystery

Roberta Smith

My newest mixed media works are composed of old books, papers and found objects because these things fascinate me in the way that older people do: they become richer and more fully realized with the passage of time, bearing visible traces of their pasts. They acquire unexpected secrets, mysteries and stories that I see as more vital than those endowed upon them when they were new. Collecting neglected yet venerable discards and incorporating them with my drawings, paintings and prints in order to endow them with new life and meaning based upon my own experience and understanding is my way of not only “upcycling”, but also of “re-membering”.
