| | MODERNISM : ARTISTS : Alexis SMITH |
 | | A product, and lover, of the Los Angeles area, Alexis had no shortage of resources as she was immersed in the profusion of visuals, objects, and texts supplied by American popular culture and the mythical Hollywood dream. |
 | | Alexis would spend the first twenty years of her career extracting what she found meaningful from these resources, melding them together to create witty metaphors for people's everyday experiences of the world. |
 | | Alexis SMITH's work stands in succession to that of Joseph Cornell, as both "bring forth a narrative from the most modest of things," Armstrong points out. |
