Just Around the Bend

By Katelyn Kirnie

The stark simplicity of, 'Just Around The Bend', set against the wide expanse of the surrounding landscape, surprises with its ability to spark curiosity. Compelled to seek out the meaning between the lines, you move around the piece and notice bends and views that take you to unexpected places. There is an airy openness to the work that gives space to wrestle with your thoughts, while the wood platform suggests you sit and stay a while to consider all the different angles. You're bound to walk away from Greg Smith's stunning piece with a new outlook as you head into the horizon. Best in Show.
