...cadmium red paint that is both mundane and menacing, forcefully aggregates scraps of metal and designed objects into a figure that evokes both the atom and our fear of its power. A core of barbs and chain links lies at the center of the work, surrounded by two askew rectangles of jagged metal forms. Recalling Escher's surreal staircase designs, Smith's work depicts technology as both embedded in all our forms of life and constituting the greatest threat to their continued existence...
