ABOUT

Carrie Smith is an emerging artist located on Treaty 4 land in Regina Saskatchewan. Working primarily in ceramic sculpture, she incorporates ideas of the abject, the surreal, and her internal landscape within each piece. 

​

Employing semiosis, Smith explores ritual iconography and ideology through the lenses of her Roman Catholic upbringing and her Slavic cultural heritage. She aims to traverse involuntary recurrent memory within her work, and bring the viewer into a narrative loop outside linear notions concerning time. 

With her functional artifacts, Smith negotiates the idea of ritual objects by considering the relationship between user, form, and function. Some playful and clever - others luscious and strange, Smith's objects are manifestations of her navigating and broadening her ideas about form.
