In a new Summer of Shorts film premiere from our Extended Play digital series, artist Liz Larner looks to the work of Minimalist sculptor Tony Smith as a source of inspiration for her practice.
Sharing her love for Smith’s large-scale sculpture Smoke (1967), which fills an atrium at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Larner sees her own work as a continuation of Smith’s geometric minimalism, moving beyond black to explore the role that color plays in our perception of form.
“We’re not really used to seeing colors distort form by not following it.”
