Smith

Carla Smith’s practice is centred around human connection, how we relate to, care for, and nurture one another. Carla works across a variety of mediums, with printmaking being a cornerstone of her practice. She often uses food as a tool, creating socially engaged meal events, edible artworks and artist books; playing with functionality and form. Her practice highlights the significance of sharing meals and the preservation of the interactions embedded within this.
