Cheryl Wilson Smith
Weathered and Worn No. 1 - Textured Indigo Blue Glass Sculpted Wall Relief

2017

About the Item

Wafer thin squares of deep blue frit glass arranged in short stacks are composed in an undulating weave. The sculptural glass works of Wilson-Smith are rooted in a theme contrasting fragility and strength. Overall her work is inspired by the perspective gained from her life in northern Ontario – a keen appreciation for the fragile and temporary nature of being human while standing on the Canadian Shield in the Boreal Forest, a vast stretch of dense forest that runs the breath of North America. In 2016, Wilson-Smith exhibited in Edinburgh Scotland with the Scottish Glass Society. She was the 2014 winner of the RBC Award for Glass through the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery that published a description of her work: “Wilson’-Smith’s delicate and complex kiln-cast works are inspired by the Boreal Forest and rock shores of Red Lake where she lives. Created by translating drawings into countless individual layers of glass frit, her sculptures push the limits of glass while interpreting the northern Ontario light, landscape and wilderness.” In this body of work, she has used dusky blue, sand and white colored glass. The works can be exhibited individually or in larger groupings. 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, Margaret Cochenor Memorial Hospital Donor wall. Her work has been exhibited widely across Canada, in the UK and the US.

  • Chromatica - tall, geometric abstract, powder coated steel outdoor sculpture
    By Ryan Van Der Hout
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    As the sun moves through the sky, the green and purple lenses of Ryan Van Der Hout’s ‘Chromatica’ capture the light and cast colourful shadows. Van Der Hout’s powder-coated steel sculptures were inspired by their work as a professional photographer. This compelling modernist piece features five hand forged black steel poles that fan out from the center and are top and tailed with five disks of framed glass. Their vision was to create pieces infused with light and motion. As a result, the sculpture is best viewed by walking around it. “Effecting something of a kaleidoscopic eye, the sculpture’s lenses interact with sunlight and with each other to combine colours in surprising and delightful ways.” Ryan Van Der Hout An interdisciplinary artist Van...
