Artist Statement
The earliest incarnations of Kiki Smith's figurative sculptures were made in the 1980s, during which time her work was highly politicized by the AIDS crisis. Her sculptural representations are clinical and have been influenced by her training as an Emergency Medical Technician in 1985.
Her early work dealt with social and political themes, but she began to be interested in the spiritual aspect of human experience. Her works began to feature celestial motifs and references to the natural world.
Smith continued these works into the 1990s. As she began to embrace her religious upbringing, Smith moved away from Minimalism and towards a decorative style. She began to use discarded materials such as ceramics, beads, doilies and ceramics that were ignored by the art community, giving them an ethereal quality.
During that time, she began exploring animal themes in her work and made bronze sculptures showing doe-like animals giving birth. She was inspired to create these works by her fascination for the female body, and its ability reproduce. This she thought is a connection with nature.
Portraits
Smith, in addition to her figurative sculptural works, has created works on paper that are printed by the Universal Limited Editions Print Studio (ULAE). Her works are created using a wide range of print techniques including lithography intaglio xerox, pigmented Inkjet and xerox.
Smith usually includes a book with a text in her ULAE print. The text, which is centered on the image, is designed to convey a more personal and intimate message.
Smith has a profound respect for the human anatomy, which she believes is underappreciated in mainstream culture. Her figurative drawing and sculptures reflect her deep concern with the health of, and dysfunction in, the human organism.
The most important aspect of her work, however, is that she reclaims the female form in a way that defies the traditional idea of a beautiful body and highlights the interiority of the human flesh. Her drawings and sculptures often deconstruct idealized, erotic women's images in art history.
Her figurative works are a response to social and political issues in her time, like the AIDS epidemic and feminism. Her recent works have changed her focus from these issues to nature and our relationship to it.
