Reflecting nature in glass
- Anett creates striking glass sculptures
- She combines glass with different materials
- She relishes space and time to reflect and contemplate
Hungarian born Anett Biliczki started her artistic education in Budapest and finished it only a few years ago at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts. Her glass craftsmanship skills led her to become technical assistant for several well-established glass artists in Scandinavia, despite her young age. Anett works primarily with glass, enjoying finding new ways to create objects. In some of her recent work, she combines gypsum with glass, exploring the differences between the durability of these two materials. By using the properties of glass such as its fragility, transparency and fluidity, her objects create associations with narratives of certain places, both imaginary and real ones. Other times, she expresses clashes between the human made urban landscape and the forces of nature.
Interview
- Why is nature so present in your work?
- Nature is fascinating. Since many of our materials comes from nature, the observations help me to understand natural processes which I then implement into my work. I also see it as more genuine way of working with silica-based materials.
- What does the Dueodde series express?
- The works encapsulate the mood of white sandy beaches on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, where I studied. Dueodde is the ideal place to look inward, reflect on a state of mind and revitalize universal memories, where the nature is put back on the agenda.
- Why did you change from blown to kiln-worked glass?
- For me it is important to experiment with new ideas from day to day. In the shared studio space where I work - Luftkraft Glasstudie - we have several kilns, a cold shop, and a place for making moulds. Therefore, it felt very natural that I started to focus more on kiln-worked glass.
- What do you like most about your profession?
- I like the diversity in working with glass, and that it can take many shapes and forms. There are several ways and techniques to create a piece. It can be challenging to work with glass but it allows me to combine different methods to achieve the desired expression.
