David Scott Smith, a sculptor and mold maker, re-contextualizes familiar objects and textures often humorously, dealing with serious issues of excess and consumption.
“I am an artist who highly enjoys the creative process, and using my imagination. I have big fun in my studio late at night; I like to dance and sing and talk to my creations. I started this project two years ago before the pandemic, and what began as a project based in humor and whimsy (and some darkness, although nothing scarier than what you might find on primetime television) evolved into ideas exploring miscommunication and insecurity, even real terror.” - Smith
