A brief look at Rhonda Smith's studio, her creative process, and responses to the natural world.

A talk given at Kingston Gallery, Boston, Ma, November 16, 2024 about her installations titled "Undiscovered Country". She talks about the two rooms, one titled "Ghost Species: Melancholia" and the other, "Two Geologies: Place, Displace", and the impulses behind each; her processes in the studio; and her grief and joy for the environment. The audience completes the talk with sensitive and sincere inquiries and remarks.

A catalog of all works in the June 2019 show at Kingston Gallery, Boston, MA.
The focus of the exhibit is the ravages we have made to a beautiful and intelligent planet. Work in the show is 3D by and large, including an element from the periodic table, imagined aerial views, and a termite hotel. A second room presents an installation, a battleground of nature pitted against humankind.
