Heather Wood ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Whether I am working with textiles, glass, wood, or canvas, I am always using intuitive skills in combination with colour, line and form to express myself. Both my sculptural work and functional glass give voice to my visual ideas.
Painting with vitreous glass enamels, sandblasting, slumping and fusing are some of the techniques I utilize in my response to the transparency and fluidity of the glass. The medium is used to create objects for adornment for the body and the home.
I have exhibited across Canada and in the United States in public and private galleries. As well as exhibiting, I have been commissioned to create work for both corporate and private clients.
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Heather graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree with a Studio Specialization in Sculpture from the University of Waterloo. She also possesses Diplomas in Textile Arts from Sheridan College's School of Design in Oakville, Ontario, and in Design Arts from Georgian College of Applied Arts in Barrie, Ontario.
As a partner in Thorn Glass Studio for more than 20 years (from 1983 to 2004), she participated as an exhibitor at the ‘The One of A Kind Craft Show’ , as well as ‘Fair November’ in Guelph, Ontario, and at ‘The Moose Show’ in Toronto. The Toronto Outdoor Show, and the Home County Craft Show in London, Ontario, were two other shows in which she has taken part. Heather is excited about her new warm glass studio in Elora, Ontario, where she still sandblasts and paints on glass. |
