Shinique Smith’s “Mother Clara Hale’s Garden” (2013) at the Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot, is inspired by the loving and generous nature of Mother Clara Hale, who for more than 50 years, cared for children in need and helped transform their lives. Smith collected clothing, fabric and inspiration from children’s drawings from the Central Harlem community to create her original artwork, which was transformed into a monumental mosaic installation by Mosaika Art & Design. Using large scale painterly gestures, Smith weaves together everyday materials with an awareness for responsible consumption in her new exhibition “Indelible Marks” now on view at the UBS Art Gallery.

To kick off Women’s History Month here’s a look at Shinique Smith’s mosaic collage, made up of cast-off materials from the surrounding community, at Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot in Harlem. Inspired by Clara Hale, a humanitarian who helped transform the lives for orphaned and sick children for more than 50 years, Smith said “We are all connected by childhood dreams and memories threaded through clothing and the things we consume and discard.” 

You can see Shinique Smith’s work at The Armory Show, Pier 94,  David Castillo Gallery, March 2-5
