Emily Mae Smith NY070824 much like the future—something weThe subjects for Gazer, an anthropomorphized broom holding a mirror, first appeared in Emily Mae Smith's 2015 painting, The Mirror. While she frequently employs the imagery of the broom, she turned to the mirror again in 2020's Cassiopeia, and it is this painting that became the model for Gazer. Mirrors, portals, and windows are reoccurring themes in Smiths work and speak about subjects such as the gaze, voyeurism, objectification, power, and agency.
