Underfoot (2026) Original Painting by Terri Smith

Underfoot is a detailed mixed media artwork exploring trace, disturbance and the small lives that continue around what has been left behind.

A shoeprint crosses a vibrant meadow path, pressing into the dark soil while grasses, wildflowers, insects, fungi and hidden animals remain around it. The scene is bright and full of life at first glance, but becomes more unsettling the longer it is viewed. The ground holds the mark of something that has passed through, while the surrounding natural world continues quietly around it.

This piece measures 60x60cm and is presently unframed.
