Darden Smith “Western Skies”
Saturday, March 5, 2022
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
“Western
Skies”
is
Smith’s
latest
release
and
is
his
most
expansive
project
to
date,
encompassing
a
book
of
photographs,
lyrics
and
essays,
an
album
of
new
songs,
lithographs,
drawings,
video,
and
spoken
word.
Darden
Smith’s
multi-media
practice
spans
photography,
drawing,
illustration,
video,
songs,
essays,
and
performance.
He
seeks
to
find
the
humor
in
the
mundane,
the
beauty
in
the
rubble,
and
the
grace
of
the
overlooked
detail
in
order
to
translate
what
he
sees
into
something
new.
He’s
not
interested
in
making
an
exact
replica
of
what
he
sees
because,
in
his
words,
“We
already
have
that.”
Moving
between
and
combining
mediums
allows
Smith
a
broader
horizon.
As
a
songwriter,
Smith
is
rooted
in
the
Texas
traditions,
and
as
such,
the
power
of
story
is
prevalent
in
his
works.
In
his
mind,
a
piece,
whether
it’s
a
song,
drawing
or
photograph,
isn’t
finished
until
it
sings.
