David A. Smith
Included as a finalist in this years Catlin Art Prize (May 2010) at the village Underground, David A Smith (a former MA Chelsea graduate), also previously won The Cecil Lewis Sculpture Scholarship (2008) and has his work in the University of the Arts London Collection. At the centre of Smith’s work is question of how memory can manifest itself within sculpted form. His use of found objects – often loaded with historical or personal significance - play a major role in his process and through considerations with objects in space and the relationship between the readymade and manipulated raw materials Smith presents the possibility of a new dialogue.

Cast Plastic Resin, Rope, Polystyrene
Compared variously to biological cells, dangerous sea mines and the fruit of some unknown plant, this work examines how a rope can drift aimlessly through space yet find a physical conclusion as a sphere. The piece juxtaposes transience with presence.
