I was aware that Abbie Laura Smith had pasted up some new artwork recently because she told me via Instagram messenger, so of course, I had to get out and try and find them. I managed to find three, of which this is the first. I expect there are more that I didn’t locate.
This wheatpaste was looking a little forlorn as the top half had become unstuck in the damp weather and folded over itself. I had to try and replace it and quickly photograph it before it peeled down… it took me several attempts. The style and content of the piece fits snugly into Abbie Laura Smith’s repertoire with a black and white portrait of a woman with words woven into her hair.
If I spent a little longer, I could probably pick out all the words, but I think it is a sorrowful piece, as I can see the words ‘grief’ and ‘the loss’. More to come from our resident paste up specialist soon.
