Hand-Painted is a series of varied edition prints that explore how we see and understand the handmade. Suzie Smith plays with ideas of truth and fiction, inviting the viewer into the artist’s process. The works show how many variations can stem from one idea and play with existing perceptions about fine art and craft.
