WEEDS - A Reflection on Resistance

Erin Pell

May 6 - June 28


Works in the gallery that are for sale are available online or at our Broadway store.

Erin is a Saskatoon based lampwork glass artist with two decades of experience. She has always felt a deep connection with nature and its balance between resilience and fragility. Her work is inspired by this connection and the strong bond and associations people have with them. She doesn't try to make exact replicas of nature but reflect the feel and emotion of each plant.

Erin creates each of the flowers, leaves, and other components using a torch to melt soda lime glass rods and a few pairs of tweezers, shears, and marvers to shape the glass into each component. She makes wood bases to complement the glass work using wood from pruned trees and found wood. After being sealed with a homemade beeswax and olive oil sealant, she arranges and sets each of the glass pieces in the wood bases.
