Send'em a bouquet! W ith BURLAP, Stephen Scott Smith’s November 2010 show, the artist examined modern society’s relationship with nature. For his follow-up ex hibition, BURLAP 2B, the Philadelphia native turns to his own nature, seen through the eyes of an adolescent circa the 1980s. Smith, who’s called Portland his “creative home base” for the past seven years, is known for his explorations of identity—sexual and otherwise, and his latest is no exception. Working with wood from the 25-foot, dying Cop per Beech tree used in last year’s show, he mines similar themes, along with the seven original colors, flashing back through family, pop culture, art, politics and AIDS. Instead of photographic and internet images of sex, fame, consumerism and privacy—stacked into a sculptural mass—here Smith has rendered seven graphite drawings in 2B pencil. The drawings are accompanied by carved objects from the aforementioned tree, video and large-scale installation, in what makes for a coming-of-age journey—an explicitly time-specific one. There’s a coy whimsy to the juxtaposition of visual textures and genera tional icons. Army tanks conjure up G.I. Joe-era patriotism (“Matty & Stevie”). Ronald Reagan dons a “Star Wars” button (“Ronnie”). A bear— yes, a bear—has a vintage Madonna moment, clad in a “BOY TO Y ” belt (cover image “Like a Virgin was Released in 1984”). In short, BURLAP 2B is the nostalgic counterpart to its predecessor’s all-grown-up treatise on disconnection—and a provocative inward glimpse at the heart of the Me Generation.
