This contemporary glass sculpture inspired by nature is designed as a tabletop piece.Cheryl Wilson Smith is an award-winning glass artist who has created a series of stunning sculptures from recycled glass. Their form and textures are inspired by the rugged beauty of her remote Northern Ontario home. This piece, in a bright red, resembles a wall built layer by layer in a narrow rectangular shape. ‘Dearg Mur’ means ‘red wall’ in Gaelic. The sculpture sits on a dark gray base. One of the ‘Boundaries’ series is designed to be ‘an exploration of boundaries…both political and personal.’

“My sculptures, the gossamer fine yet intrinsically strong structures, become an active receptacle for interpretations of time and lasting memory. A place for quiet contemplation.” Cheryl Wilson Smith
