About The Artwork

Addiction is part of the 'Tipping Point' collection. The 10 images in the collection were made in response to a growing concern over various 'tipping points' - in this case irreversible global climate boundaries - that highlight our responsibility and our need to simply take care of our planet for future generations. I like to think they bring into question our planetary housekeeping skills (or lack of.) They are collages - a form of recycling - made from National Geographic Magazines (1969 - 1977). I chose this publication from this era not just because of the obvious connotation with earth science, but also because there was a questionable politics subverting the magazine at that time. A little too many oil company adverts etc. whose dialectic is spurious at best under the current climate debate. Aesthetically they happened to be at the forefront of print for publication, and the koda/ektachrome plates have a painterly quality that lends itself beautifully to the final image. The originals are hand-cut, hand-pasted montages, and in this collection are sold as edition giclee prints (10 images, 10 editions each.)

Justin Davin Smith was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He studied drawing and painting in Cardiff before attending the Newport School of Art and Design. Here he studied film and migrated his knowledge of fine art technique and video making to study Interactive Arts, at University of Wales Newport. Predominantly working in public art and land art with an ecological bias, he has now returned to his initial interests - the artist as skilled crafts person - and works with ‘found’ archival documents, old photographic images and ephemeral film, developing ideas around the 20th century notion of assemblage and collage.
