Brooms with a View

Emily Mae Smith makes paintings and works on paper that channel Surrealism, Symbolism, and Pop through a feminist lens, frequently centering an anthropomorphic broom figure that evokes both Disney's Fantasia and the gendered politics of domestic labor. Her work riffs on canonical painting traditions, injecting feminine interiority into historically masculine pictorial modes. Collections include the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Dallas Museum of Art.
