Smith, Alethea

I explore different creative disciplines, including painting, textiles, printmaking, and silversmithing. I gravitate towards a muted and earthy palette, often working with natural pigments and materials. My work is often inspired by textiles and natural forms.

I explore pattern and composition through the repetition of marks, lines, and grids, each a tangible record of time, process, and memory. The tactile nature of making—the touch of materials and the rhythm of repeated actions—is fundamental to my work

Ultimately, my practice explores the intersection between nature, material, and the meditative process of making.
