The 15 mannequins are seen in the 11 paintings that make up the one-night exhibit “T. Smith: The Waiting Room.” Painted in various shades of blue and silver against a red background, the female figures are seen unsmiling, without clothes or hair. Smith says that while there’s no definite narrative for the series, there is a sense of foreboding to the images. “They’re bald, they’re not smiling, they’re all bunched up together and they’re naked. You know something is going on there, even if you don’t know quite what.”
