Sydney Smith

Sydney Smith is a sculptor working in locally sourced wood and found objects to consider how complicated relationships and histories can be communicated through form and material. Her work asks viewers to reconsider the materials around them, not as objects, but forms full of stories and life. Smith is based in Hartford, Connecticut. Most recently she completed a year-long fellowship at Trinity College as well as a residency at Vermont Studio Center. An emerging artist, Smith's work has been shown throughout the Northeast in Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Smith also teaches classes at Makerspace CT; her three-session ‘Women in the Woodshop’ course invites women to learn woodshop skills and basics.
