2020

About the Item

Liz Rundorff Smith renders visual forms that fluctuate between the stability of present-ness and the loss of clarity that is tied to memory. Memory of space is translated through elements of color and line that are constantly in flux, creating forms that come together and fall apart at the same time. Color is tied to a sentimental memory of the past and works to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The artist’s paintings bring personal experience to the familiar forms of minimalism, while undermining the notion of aesthetic autonomy. Rundorff Smith questions the unique object by intentionally mimicking the same forms repeatedly, attempting to reproduce the original while allowing imperfection and a lack of precision to create work that exploits the failures of repetition. The reductive form is a means for conveying both the emotional and physical experience of space.
