Opening Reception | Sculpture: Bill Smith's Synthetic BioStructure


Smith, who has a degree in both sculpture and micro-biology, uses his knowledge of science not only as more a basis for inspiration but as his media as well.

Taking scientific laws and principles as a guiding form, Smith has created a highly aesthetic visual language that he uses to create complex, often mechanized, sculptural works that bridge the gap between art and science. less
