“In a manner befitting the everyday otherworldliness of Michael Smith’s work, I was 13 when I first stumbled on his work through Public TV’s Image Union. His “Secret Horror” was a hilarious, deadpan and appropriately unflinching look into the abyss. This superimposition of states had a profound impact on my life and work, to this day.
