About this Event
Sharl G. Smith has hand-stitched glass bead sculptures for a dozen years. Embrace II is one of a series of more recent experiments that dramatically upscales the materials and presences of her creations, which explore careful relationship-building, structural integrity, points of light and feminine power.
Embrace II has been displayed beside the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery’s front steps since fall 2023. A recent acquisition campaign was successful, so the sculpture’s 250 or so large stainless-steel beads will continue welcoming gallery visitors with its immersive and irresistibly otherworldly reflections for years to come. If you have not yet peeped your multiplied, distorted self in its mirrors, please do!
Scope Embrace II at the Clay & Glass Gallery and come hear Sharl explain how she assembled this eye-popping artwork starting at 7:30pm, followed by Q&A session.
Sharl will speak in 44 Gaukel Creative Workspace's flex space, off the secondary entrance facing Gaukel Block. Capacity in the flex space & inside the facility is limited, so attendees are encouraged to get a free ticket as walk-up access may be restricted.
"How I Made..." artist talks are produced & presented by the City of Kitchener's Arts & Creative Industries team.
