Anj Smith

Showcasing Anj Smith’s latest body of work, ‘Drifting Habitations’ pairs the British artist’s luscious paintings with an illuminating conversation between Smith and psychologist Orna Guralnik and a unique artist-to-artist response in the form of a poetic intervention. Anj Smith: Drifting Habitations presents Anj Smith's latest body of work, where ecologically devastated landscapes are host to liminal beings and creatures. The artist’s luscious paintings invite viewers to consider the fluidity of their perceptions of the world. This publication features a conversation between psychologist Orna Guralnik and the artist, in which such themes as plurality, rewilding and repurposing are discussed, as well as a poetic intervention by author Claire-Louise Bennett, who conjures up a roiling world of her own and plays with readers’ understanding of reality, nature and self.
