Hurrah! this is the second paste up in a new batch from Abbie Laura Smith dotted around the Cumberland Basin area. I would say that this one is by quite some considerable margin the largest that I have seen yet from Abbie Laura Smith.
The piece is different also in that it is a fuller portrait piece from the waist upwards, rather than the customary head portraits that ALS usually creates. The torso is covered in writing, which I haven’t had time to reconstruct fully, but I can see the phrase “Nope, you are lucky enough to tell the tale that those before you…” running down the arm. The piece as a whole feels more ambitious than previous works, and I sense that ALS is pushing a few boundaries, which is so good to see. More coming soon.
