About The Artwork

Both my GLASS MENAGERIE and the ANIMAL TALES Mixed Media Sculpture Series begin with Repurposing. My goal is to give new meaning to the debris of our civilization. This artwork is from the GLASS MENAGERIE Series, in which I turn "Orphans" into "Families". I find unwanted clear glassware at yard sales and I store them on shelves in my studio which I call "the Orphanage". The building process starts when I choose a single object from the orphanage. I then intuitively determine where that object will belong (top? Bottom? Middle? Front? Back? etc). From there, I manipulate & assemble other orphan objects, cut pieces of sheet glass (recycled picture frame glass) along with other found objects into a new form or family. The entire process is intuitive . Each singular artwork is permanently bonded together with cold glass working processes. Materials: Found glass(formerly picture-frame glass) & other found objects : wishbone, Motocycle ornaments.

This Saatchi site is linked with : https://www.schriebersmith.com Schrieber-Smith is a multidisciplinary artist whose processes have evolved full-circle from glass, to mixed media assemblage, to painting, and now back to glass. Schrieber-Smith produces work in themed series such as the Paper-Doll series, the Neo-Mythology Series, the Working Women of the World series, the Glass Menagerie Series, the Glasscape Series and most recently the Animal Tales Series. The Glass Menagerie series began in May 2013, when she married her assemblage, painting and glass skills resulting in a whole new sculptural direction with open-ended imagery and mystery. The Animal Tales series couples her love of animals with her love of stories. Once again repurposing materials…this time books. The books are chosen to compliment the animal portrait. The portraits are a combination of glass painting and reverse painting on glass. The books are manipulated and adorned to compliment the painting which becomes affixed to the book. It is her intention for the artworks from both the Glass Menagerie Series and the Animal Tales Series to give new purpose and new meaning to the debris of our civilization. When not in the studio or in the classroom, Schrieber-Smith explores the world. Her extensive travel experiences in Europe, South America and Asia are an ongoing influence in both her artwork and her teaching. In 2016, Schrieber-Smith was honored by her Alma Mater with an induction into the Fine Arts Hall of Fame. Schrieber-Smith has works are in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. http://saatchiart.com/schrieber-smith http://www.schriebersmith.com
