About The Work
Anne Smith often immerses personal life experiences within an image or body of work while at the same time hoping to make a connection with the observer. “Unfocused” presents a glimpse into her early years as a visually impaired child. Smith's visual impairment went unnoticed until she was six years of age, at which time she was declared legally blind. This body of work depicts the terror felt as a visually impaired four year old lost in a department store. Unfocused brings the observer into Anne Smith's visual world when unable to identify a person's face with any clarity. Visually, she identified people and her surroundings by body form and color. It has been inspiring to visit with observers who identify with the emotional turmoil and fear that may occur when one has this type of impairment.
