Michael E. Smith is an American contemporary artist known for transforming everyday, often overlooked objects into sculptural works that explore fragility, impermanence, and the intersection of the mundane with subtle absurdity. He frequently uses found objects - like chairs, tables, or household items - and combines them in ways that highlight vulnerability or decay.

His work often has a minimalist and understated aesthetic, yet it carries a strong conceptual punch. For example, pairing a plastic chair with a wasps’ nest, creates tension between the manufactured and natural, the stable and the precarious. It’s typical of Smith’s interest in the “life” of objects and their unnoticed narratives.
