C.Smith May 2022 — s.dot gallery

Howdy, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Claire Smith, I am a Columbus based artist that works primarily with found materials and recycled fabrics. I took this opportunity to create a new body of work inspired by a dream like euphoria and

Oh YAY! We can't wait to see Claire's work!

S.Dot Gallery is pleased to present "Dream-Like" new works by Claire Smith

Come on in!

Lilac is a cozy color and has always reminded me of sleep. Pins and Needles, gives me the fuzzy, sharp feeling that sometimes wakes me.

Pins and Needles Glazed stoneware $25

The lilac color continues in this piece with loops that are reminiscent of the comforter pulled all the way up to your chin.

Lucky You Glazed stoneware $25

Pillow Top is an ode to the super soft mattress that I like to spend 8+ hours of my life in a day on top of.

Pillow Top Glazed stoneware $25

I recently returned from a trip to the desert. It was a Dream-Like experience. There were always unexpected creatures lurking under rocks and on the trail. I have included some snakes around the exhibit because they always seem to pop up at the most

This piece was inspired by a much larger chain that I made a couple of years ago. Chains often appear in my work to symbolize a connection and the tether that often comes along with connection.

Paralysis Glazed stoneware, paint $30

Snake!

This one is for the gentlemen.

Comfort Glazed stoneware. paint $25

Yarn was one of my earliest mediums. I loved the idea that a line could be manipulated into a piece of fabric. I wove clay body together, over, and under to create the suggestion of an interwoven sheet or a knot.

Lucid Loops Glazed stoneware $30

This one must be Dorrie's favorite!

Woven Octopus Glazed stoneware $40

MIA director - she is afraid of snakes.

I wanted to create spaces that I would like to walk through. This couch and these pieces struck me with a distant memory, so distant that I still have not been able to place their familiar configuration, maybe it was a dream.

Lemon Leopard Glazed stoneware $40

Garden Bed Glazed stoneware $25

Serpents appear again in this room of the exhibition. I will often refer to a dream book when I wake from a particularly odd dream. I flip through the pages in search of the symbols that stand out in the dream. My favorite interpretation of a snake

Deep Sleep Glazed stoneware $35 - sold CBS

Sleeping Serpent Glazed stoneware $40

I took a more traditional approach to a gallery space in this room. I wanted the work to be the focal point, even the furniture reflects the work.

Waking Life Glazed stoneware $30

Bed Head Glazed stoneware, wool $25

Absolute Darkness Glazed stoneware $25

Dream Treat Glazed stoneware $30

Finally, we enter my dream studio. This place is very similar to my studio at Blockfort. If you have ever seen my tiny workspace you will notice the messy similarities. Boxes of fabric, power tools, and a sewing machine all strewn about.

Dot has a favorite too!

Dreamscape Glazed stoneware, polyester $35

Dream Creature Glazed stoneware $30

Monster Toes Glazed stoneware $25

Play is an important aspect to all of my work. Creating this body of work is a dream come true for my younger self. I am grateful to have been able to work through this series and display them here.

Waking Life Glazed stoneware, vinyl $25

Thank you so much for exhibiting with us Claire - your work is reflective and very smart! We Love it! xoxo
