Collocation No. 12 (TIME) installed at Marty Walker Gallery

Winter 2007 Hot Shot, and 20x200 celebrity, Mickey Smith is showing a collocation from her ongoing series, Volume. The new work is part of a group show, there's something I've been meaning to tell you... at Marty Walker Gallery in Texas.

Mickey Smith explores history, knowledge, and a sense of place in her photographs of book spines. Using public library collections for inspiration, the artist composes shelves of imprinted words that float, connect, and refer to universal human experience. Smith's photographs of books are transformed into color-field abstractions through repetition and a dramatic exploitation of scale, creating books that are four and five feet tall, proportionally dwarfing the viewer in an expanse of color, and bold accentuated text.
