General Description
Allison V. Smith has been making the pilgrimage between
Dallas and Marfa four to five times a year for many years.
Photographing the land and towns between the two destinations,
Smith intently observes line, light, and form found in
architecture and nature. Smith’s Marfa series, to which this
photograph belongs, displays her interest in small towns
and the beauty found in everyday locales. Often unintentionally
void of people, Smith’s images are quiet yet redolent of a
soundtrack, and are indeed heavily infl uenced by music. They
are further imbued with rich and saturated hues, attesting to
an intense concern with color that is consistent throughout
Smith’s photographic practice.
