Artist: Robert Michaell Smith

Art is alchemy. Alchemy is the magic, observation, process and ritual of life. My sculptures, both virtual and actual, are conversations regarding the archetypal forms that are the basic structures of nature. I build alien abstract worlds that become familiar through frequent immersion. These worlds are constructed to open exploration to the deepest regions of the human psyche for development within the landscape of the imagination.

"Artemisa" is intended as fertile feminine icon for the Digital Age, like a Venus of Willendorf for the Electronic Revolution. According to Greek mythology Artemisa was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of Nature, the hunt and fertility. As the Lady of Ephesus she was depicted as a mother goddess with multiple breasts.
