SUMMARY:Dustin Smith | Visiting Artist Lecture Series
LOCATION:Shaffer Art Building Shemin Auditorium\, Shaffer Hall\, Syracuse\
 , NY 13244
DESCRIPTION:Dustin Smith turned to “making” as a way to control something 
 in life. Smith grew up in central Kansas and at university was fortunate 
 to have great art and design instructors. Design took Smith into the agen
 cy world in Chicago in 1994\, San Francisco in 2004 and simultaneously ar
 ound the world for collaborations in print\, film and digital production 
 for a wide variety of clients.\n\nAs an adventurer and outdoorsman\, acce
 ss to the outdoors drew Smith to Bend\, Oregon\, in 2021. Living on the e
 dge of the forest\, near the Deschutes River\, and having mountain bike t
 rails and snowboarding on Mount Bachelor has a great deal of influence on
  Smith’s mindset and work. Hiking\, paddling\, camping and exploring fill
  Smith with ideas for more art than can be created in a lifetime.\n\nSmit
 h explores impermanence via methods of pigment application and erasure\, 
 layering and erosion. The process is a tangible demonstration of creation
  and decay\, resulting in a lattice of skeletonized structures symbolic o
 f artifacts\, events and civilization itself. Everything born withers\, a
 nd everything built crumbles. Smith works to embrace this duality.\n\nThe
  Visiting Artist Lecture Series\, which features approximately 25 contemp
 orary artists each semester\, is free to attend and open to the public.\n
