Almost Animal is the official introduction of artwork by Shawn Smith. Smith investigates the intersection between the digital world and reality with his three-dimensional, pixelated animal sculptures. He is interested in how we experience much of the natural world through our phones and digital media. These labor-intensive sculptures made from individual "pixel" blocks of wood are meant to contrast with the speed of the digital world. Smith likens the pixels playing an important role in the identity of the sculpture to each cell playing a vital role in an organism.
