Smit has been known to recreate militant broadcasts with his own head in place of hostages, makes CMYK soft drinks and creates fruit and vegetable football stadiums. In response to his work he has said, “Sometimes, if things irritate me I react to them through my work. I don’t want to judge, I just want to point things out. I’m well aware of the relativity of the information that gets to me. I want to stimulate people to think for themselves and question the things happening around them and in the world.”

I tend to be less is more as well. The exception is when someone is a master of using colour and textures and this is a perfect example. Olio by Marilyn4

Fusing glass is a whole lot of fun and having your own kiln rather than having to rent kiln time can make it much more enjoyable.8
