Circles, Squares and Triangles


Circles, Squares and Triangles
Smith`s original work uses the 3 most basic shapes to challenge perceptions of the way we see both natural and unnatural forms. Must our minds always be penned in to the straight lines of the square? Or can we think in the more free flowing manner of the circle? And yet there is another form of thought, that of the Triangle, a shape which should be so elementary and simple and yet still seems somewhat unusual. In a style which is coming to be typical of Smith`s work, this image throws up questions at every corner. What, for example, do you take to be the significance of the uniform grey background? Limitless hidden meanings are to be found as you scratch each layer below the surface.
