About Don't Let Them Burst Your Bubble: Clear III
This contemporary glass wall sculpture was created by Cheryl Wilson Smith. Fourteen blown clear glass bubbles—some full, some deflated and pierced with iron nails create a dynamic composition. Light naturally shines through the glass and forms shadows as the bubbles appear to float across the wall. The Canadian artist has named this piece after a popular colloquial expression. One of a series.“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.” Cheryl Wilson Smith
