Tiffany Lawson - Blue Sheets | Mia isobel smith - lessons in care

Process, featuring collections from artists Tiffany Lawson and Mia Isobel Smith, explores distinct methodologies established through repetitive rituals, the collection of material, and the accumulation of marks. 

Lawson’s series is a discipline of originality, intending to harness the power of imagination and creation. These Blue Sheets; fifty (50) in total, were created under a self-imposed rule - each original composition was started and finished within one (1) day, using an accumulation of curated media. Composed on Rembrandt Mystic Blue toned paper, the curated medias, along with colored pencil, acrylics and ink, explore freedom in Black visions and world-building.

Smith’s collection, Lessons in Care, offers tangible accounts of private experience, positioning material as an extension of the body. Vulnerable moments of physical maintenance and sentimental longing are realized and recorded through the persistent memory of clay and the accumulation of thousands of stitches. Smith’s tactical expressions serve as an intimate testament to the beauty found in the most ordinary aspects of everyday life.
