ABOUT THE PRODUCT

material: blown, iced, cut glass

Precise hand-cutting makes this object a unique and unrepeatable original.
¨It fits into a series of experiments with the surface of the object. The icing of the glass, a process that is influenced at times by temperature and humidity, at others by sunny or rainy weather, repeatedly endows me with moments of surprise, lightness and beauty. For the Japanese vase I chose black glass, shaped the basic geometric forms, covered them with an iced decoration and added a red element, a kind of hinged lid.¨
Anna Polanská's glass objects are solitary works developing an artistic vision based on exploring the possibilities of the cutting technique. They have a natural, organic and elemental effect, not artificial and predictable. Not only their form but also their character changes with the angle of view. In interaction with the viewer, they behave like living entities, because they are not decorated with abrasive, but wrinkled.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anna Polanská studied glass engraving and later at the Academy of Arts and Crafts in Prague she studied sculpture and glass in architecture. She explores the material not only in her own artistic practice, but also as head of the glass cutting and melting department at the Secondary Industrial Glass School in Železný Brod. Her main interest is in sculptural vases and other vessels. Her initial work with roughly carved pieces of glass has been somewhat tamed in later collections and shows an interest in nature and its ephemeral substances, such as the sky and vegetation. The unique shapes and worked surfaces serve not just as decoration but as an expression of being.
