Years ago, while swimming to the horizon and back, I found two stones ground by water and created a preview of my future sculpture. At that time I recorded the shapes in my sketchbook. Years later, after working on other motifs in other forms, I returned to that experience, back to the seashore, and "Now" was born.
Anna Polanska's glass objects are solitary works developing an artistic vision based on exploring the possibilities of the abrasive 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.
