A Final Soar Into Orbit
Linenhall Arts Centre
17th April - 23rd May 2015

‘This work is a narrative about an RAF pilot who disappeared, a strong female entity, a void, a legacy and the simple realisation the search may always continue’
Vicky Smith, 2015
                                                                                                                             
Linenhall Arts Centre is pleased to announce A Final Soar Into Orbit, a solo exhibition by  Vicky Smith (IRL). Featuring an atmospheric installation of photography, film work, paintings and figurative clay sculptures Vicky Smith reflects on the disappearance of an RAF pilot, the legacy that has resulted over three generations, strong Independent women and an obsession with  flight and missions to space. The nature of the work is inspired by her great grandfather, the book Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel and the Life magazine images taken from this time, her grandfathers photographs and the re-appropriated  fictional TV character Arthur Daley, the wheeler dealer character from the great British criminal underworld. Within this installation the artists examines this legacy resulting in a fictional end to the story.
