Smith’s 2025 Smokestack Analog Print Residency project, Imagined Archives, represented her introduction to relief printmaking as a new method of approach within her practice. For the making of this project, Smith created a vocabulary of graphic shapes and linear patterning fabricated into modular wood-cut pieces. Through collaborative exploration by Smith and Smokestack’s analog printmaker, Laine Groeneweg, these pieces were then rearranged into a multitude of blocked compositions to ink and pull through the press. Suggestive of a collection of vessels – or perhaps abstracted figures – each print demonstrates a unique intersection of spatial relationships, tonal densities, and playful experimentations.
