Smilde’s work often draws upon the physical presence of transitional spaces.
Places
such as corridors, elevators, staircases and balconies interest Smilde as
spaces that exist to be in between. This interest also branches out into the
possibility of how a given space might be in between states of construction and
deconstruction.
Using his day to day surrounds as points of conjecture, Smilde
often works in response to site, creating special narratives whereby multiple
layers of ideas and meaning are able to collide and awkwardly coexist.
Throughout
this process Smilde often uses construction materials and imitation products
such as photographic prints, artificial turf and polystyrene interior
decoration, that make reference to the physical construct of those spaces he
works with and that play on the boundary of where in between starts and ends."
