30TH ANNUAL Tallahassee International Emily Sullivan Smith “The two pieces in this exhibition, Two Birds with One Stone and Plight of the Passenger, are part of a larger body of work entitled The Plight of Abundance. The works marry together instances of species being hunted to extinction or endangerment—investigating the tenuous balance between natural resources and human survival. Process, material and composition work to support the idea and provide the viewer with access to the concepts. In this body of work, I am using an environmental consciousness to develop works that both document and play with the ever-changing relationship.” —E.
