Shinique Smith — Enchanted Place
Shinique Smith

Enchanted Place

Shinique Smith's *Enchanted Place* is a lush, sculptural assemblage of cascading fabric, lace, string, pillows, foam, and a rug, bound together in Smith's signature style of bundling and wrapping. A plaster swan emerges from within the layered textiles, lending the work an air of fantasy and quiet magic. The piece transforms everyday domestic materials into a dreamlike environment that evokes memory, desire, and the intimate poetry of personal spaces.
