In our middle gallery for the month of June we are excited to introduce the sculpture of Waterloo, ON artist Sharl G. Smith.  Informed by her architectural background and her training in a Zen Buddhist design/build firm in California, her large-scale steel sculptures are comprised of woven stainless steel “beads” with industrial steel cables serving as thread.  The organic sculptures push traditional beadwork to a new realm, where the combination of spheres using a tension based network explores themes of social systems, emotions, nature and the spaces between.

Exhibition on from June 6th - June 29th.
