This contemporary glass table top sculpture is purple in color.The award-winning glass artist Cheryl Wilson Smith creates uniquely beautiful sculptural work from hand-blown glass in her Northern Ontario studio. This new series uses pieces of recycled glass carefully chosen for their form, polished and layered in a dynamic stacked shape. Mounted on a clear glass block, light illuminates the deep purple-colored pieces that shine like jewels and makes the entire sculpture glow.
“Picking Up the Pieces celebrates the beauty in imperfection and the potential for renewal, as each piece of glass finds its place in a new narrative—one of transformation, reimagining, and the quiet power of renewal.”
