About Don't Let Them Burst Your Bubble: Pink 11425

This contemporary wall sculpture is made from pink glass bubbles.

Each work is individually hand-formed in glass, so slight variations in colour, shape, and texture from the images shown are expected and inherent to the piece.

Cheryl Wilson Smith is known for her uniquely beautiful glasswork—its form, colour and texture are 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. The elegant composition features fourteen transparent pink-colored blown glass bubbles; some inflated, others deflated and pierced by iron nails arranged in a cascading pattern. Light naturally shines through the glass, forming shadows as the bubbles appear to float on the wall. 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.”
