Kiki Smith is a multi media artist, born in 1954. Among the different mediums she chooses to work in are,bronze,wax,clot, handmade paper and glass. After the death of her father in 1980, Smith investigated themes of mortality and decay.Building on this and her work as an EMT in 1985 her pieces seemed to represent the curiousity she finds around these topics.
She likes to have her art left to the interpretations of the viewer, and may leave work untitled. She believes in the process of her work and allows it to evolve into a finished piece.
