Carrying on this exploration of light and transparency for Cure3, Smith has embraced the Perspex space to produce Be a Lantern in the Dark. Made with fabrics sourced in markets as far apart as Oman and London, the artist has transformed the cube into a polyptych, sitting on top of a cardboard mirror. The stretcher has been blowtorched, then waxed, and the mirror adds a playful element while it also illuminates the work. One reviewer has commented that Smith’s greatest gift is “to imbue colour with spiritual energy”. Here, in the context of Cure3, Be a Lantern in the Dark, provides a message of hope, friendship and positivity.
