Justin Davin Smith

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.
