Deemed as one of Chicago’s 2010 Breakout Artists, Montgomery Perry Smith takes over the entirety of Johalla Projects with Pit Worship. Smith’s work is a vivacious examination of the human form. Crafting intricate sculptures out of materials ranging from felt and lace to saliva, Smith explores the duality of human sexuality. Smith’s work bursts with appeal, and speaks heavily of desire, mirroring forms of the body and inviting the viewer to delve in deeper. But under the allure are the traces of frustration and awkwardness standard in sexual exploration. Pit Worship opens at Johalla Projects on Saturday, September 11th.
