About Terri Smith

Event: What Persists

Dates: 11 May 2026 - 22 May 2026

This solo exhibition brings together a series of works that observe the quiet relationship between life, death, and continuity in the natural world. Plants, animals, and small ecosystems are shown not as symbols of innocence or beauty alone, but as participants in ongoing cycles of growth, decay, adaptation, and survival. Death is present, but not dramatised; it is treated as an ordinary and necessary part of living systems. Through careful detail and narrative suggestion, the works invite viewers to slow down and notice what endures, what changes, and what quietly persists around us.
