A Pixelated Artist

Shawn Smith is a "pixel artist" he uses tiny blocks of wood to create a pixelated "version" of different sculptures.

My conceptual and material practice explores identity, color, labor, technology, and science. As an object maker, I am interested in relating these concepts back to the symbiotic connection between the hand and the "thing." This relationship is a basic principle in the development of the modern human--biologically, technologically, culturally, and scientifically. I am fascinated by the importance of the "thing" in our history and how this relationship is changing with technology, as we become more removed from first hand experience by observing the world through a screen.
