About the Item

This contemporary blue glass tabletop sculpture is by Cheryl Wilson Smith. Cheryl Wilson Smith is known for her uniquely beautiful glass work—its form, color and texture is often inspired by the rugged natural beauty of her home and studio in northern Ontario. This current series explores a different narrative that symbolizes life’s joys and challenges. A single ‘bubble’ of translucent blue glass appears deflated and pierced by an iron nail. Light naturally reflects off of and shines through the glass, so it appears to glow from within. The title refers to a popular colloquial expression. “This work is a reminder to each of us who are confronted by the opinions and criticisms of others to consider those perspectives, but to always stay true to our beliefs and follow our dreams. These dreams are important and valuable.” Cheryl Wilson Smith Cheryl Wilson Smith was the 2014 winner of the RBC Award for Glass through the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. Wilson-Smith has received nine grants from the Ontario Arts Council and one from the Canada Council. Commissions include the Red Lake District Heritage Centre and the Margaret Cochenor Memorial Hospital Donor wall. Her work has been exhibited widely across Canada, in the UK and the US.

Large Flattened Form with Shards and Cane in Blues - blown glass vessel
By Susan Rankin
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This beautiful burnt orange vessel in blown glass takes its organic shape and wild patterns from nature. Canadian artist Susan Rankin finds inspiration in the ever-changing colours and forms in the garden she tends to all summer. “With this new series of blown vessels I am working with more transparent translucent colours, shards, glass threads and thread drawing.
