Helen Smith

Whether I am working with glass, with print, or with stitch, the recurring theme in my work is the interplay of light, surface and texture. Inspiration is drawn from the landscape, wide horizon and beautiful light of the estuary on which I live, and from the contrasts to be found at the boundaries of water, land and sky.
Recycling plays a part in my work, whether I am using scraps of old textiles and found objects to create the texture and print which is then transferred into my glass, or using recycled glass to create hanging decorations and my recycled bottle vases.
