The artwork of Helen Glazer is generally characterized by imagery inspired by the natural world, vibrant color, and meticulous attention to surface and detail of form. Glazer says, " My interest in the insights of chaos and complexity theories and how they can be seen operating in the natural world has influenced my work for a few years. Since 2007, I have been engaging with these concepts more directly in a new series. The relief (top row left) is derived from a photograph of a cloud (top row right). Via digital 3D imaging, I translated these ephemeral forms into a tangible, richly textured sculpture."
