Valley based artist born in Queens. She earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (2010) and has attended several residencies including Studios at MASS MoCA, The Wassaic Project, The Vermont Studio Center, ChaNorth, and the Contemporary Arts Center in Woodside, receiving several merit based awards.

A cyclical movement and universal form.&nbsp; Hypnotic and calming, I make gestural drawings and paintings of dots and circles on raw canvas and paper using an array of media.&nbsp; These drawings are a repeated meditation observing minute variations in a personal sense of pace.&nbsp; Mapped out to the size of my wingspan, I record the markings like an exploratory science project. The dancing dots exist in a spacelessness that defies gravity. Held in the vastness of the mind’s eye. In addition to painting and drawing, I create sculptures with clay and rope. These sculptures hang downward, pulled by the literal force of weight and gravity. The rope’s line navigates the space like a doodle; clinging to the wall and dribbling to the floor.&nbsp; Bulbous pearl beads are sculpted from clay neatly smoothed in the palms of my hand. The clay masses hang delicately and intentionally, dictating the shape the linear form takes. The strings meld with the (back)ground, bringing your gaze through an intertwined journey. Their mutable nature suspended in stillness, revealing the before, the after, the during and all the awkward in betweenness. https://lryansmith.com/CV Tue, 12 May 2020 16:13:35 +0000 newyou lsmith https://lryansmith.com/CV Education2010 Bachelor of Fine Arts, Painting Rhode Island School of Design, Providence RI2009 European Honors Program Rhode Island School of Design 2009, Rome ITSolo Exhibitions2021 Analog Catalog Starr Library Rhinebeck NY 2020 Systems &amp;
