Wafer thin layers of crisp, ice blue glass frit are stacked to create an undulating, organic vessel. The sculptural glass works of Wilson-Smith are rooted in a theme contrasting fragility and strength.

Wilson-Smith was the 2014 winner of the RBC Award for Glass through the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. The gallery 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.”
