Kiki Smith's Prophetic Visions at Timothy Taylor

Kiki Smith's exhibition at Timothy Taylor, London, through 1 November, revisits her long-standing fascination with divination, featuring works from the late 1990s to the present. The show includes a gilded bronze cast of intestines, prints resembling irises, and bronze sculptures of goats, comets, butterflies, snakes, and lambs. Highlights include 'Rest Upon' (2009), a life-size lamb on a sleeping girl, and 'Flock' (2025), three bronze lambs. The final sculpture 'Dark Water' (2023) repeats the premise of her 1990 work 'Untitled', drawing criticism for its retrograde ecofeminist imagery. The review argues Smith's prophetic vision fails to address contemporary gender shifts.
