Dianne Smith  Art   

From Pulp to Possibilities is a transformative installation that reimagines butcher paper as a powerful symbol of resilience and renewal. By weaving together elements of community and sustainability, the work invites viewers to reflect on the endless potential for creativity and growth in everyday life. It is rooted in the Dianne's Belizean roots of transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary. This installation was included in the group show, curated by Vladimir Cybil, When the Tropics are Quiet. The exhibition showcased the works of eight women reflecting the interiority of the artists. In this exhibition, the artists explored their inner selves beyond their cultural identities, be it Caribbean, Latin X, or Southeast Asian-American. This body of work aimed to dialogue with the artist's individuality and how it transcends their perceived American-ness or non-American-ness.
