The event will feature a lively conversation between Bibi Smit and guest artist Lauren Baker on art and nature as an inspiration, moderated by Suzanne van der Borg.

Both a sculptor and glassblower, Bibi Smit’s work centres on patterns and rhythms found in nature. Smit's profound belief in the interconnectedness of art and nature shapes her sculptures, aiming to influence how individuals perceive themselves and the world they inhabit. Her new installation Surge invites viewers to immerse themselves and recharge by engaging their senses of touch, vision, and hearing. This upcoming talk will also delve into the role of glass sculptures in contemporary art, craftsmanship and discuss the significance of glass as a medium for artistic expression.
