Negotiating the space between the genres of portraiture, landscape and still life, Smith produces intricately rendered paintings that explore issues of gender, ecology, anxiety and eroticism. To that end, her latest series populates ecologically devastated landscapes with liminal beings and creatures. The luscious paintings invite viewers to consider the fluidity of their perceptions of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnj Smith: Drifting Habitations\u003c\/i\u003e features a conversation between psychologist Orna Guralnik--of Showtime's \u003ci\u003eCouples Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e--and the artist, in which themes such as plurality, rewilding and repurposing are discussed, as well as a poetic intervention by author Claire-Louise Bennett, who conjures up a roiling world of her own and plays with readers' understanding of reality, nature and self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 12.4 x 9.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457379025074,"sku":"9783906915838","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/c088da8a0d50217ef82a9799087384f0.webp?v=1778880014","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/anj-smith-drifting-habitations-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
