What have you lost that might be found again ?

What can you find by searching ?

“Lost and Found speaks of real entities, people and things that we loose and the ways in which they are discovered again or found even for the first time.” Prof. E. Powell, Associate Professor of Studio Arts at the University of Pittsburgh.

 Art Curator and Visual Artist, Sharon Smith, from her house boat sets a global challenge to a culturally diverse group of international artists, to search for ideas, images or even themselves and find that which is lost or yet undiscovered. How might their creative work express differences and similarities in the way they understand and express their own realities of life, through a common experience that everyone shares – lost and found.

 “The common threads or themes that are essential to life, that permeate human existence are revealed through the reality and necessity of ‘opposites’.”  Sharon Smith.

 The exhibition goes beyond the expected, and the artists’ search reveals their intellectual and academic thought process, based upon cultural heritage and life experiences. These are expressed through the concepts of childhood dreams, life and death, reinvention, destruction and human identity.

 Sharon Smith has previously been the architect for Under The Bed and Inner and Outer Landscapes. Lost & Found is an extension of these exhibitions, continuing her research into the visual representation of the human responses and reactions to entities.
