Yasmin Smith (b.1984, Sydney) creates ambitious ceramic sculptural installations through a combination of field research, community collaboration and technical experimentation.

Yasmin Smith: Elemental Life, the most significant museum presentation of the artist's work to date. The exhibition features the major wall-based ceramic installation Seine River Basin (2019) from the MCA collection, alongside new and recent works that are thematically tied together in their investigations of waterways, river systems and deep geological time. Presenting an alternative understanding of combined human and environmental histories, Smith’s thought-provoking works invite us to engage with our surroundings in new ways, and consider our relationship to and impact on the natural world.
