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