GLASS MEET THE FUTURE FILM FESTIVAL 2021

20 march 2021 - 04 april 2021

Synopsis

Film shows my creative process around a glass collection named “Growth””. I am talking about the idea of combining two crafts: glass blowing and wicker weaving and about how I understand human growth. When creating the collection, I operated at the meeting point of plaiting – providing an organic base and free blowing – giving a light open form. Objects start from the shape of the roots with a trace of nature on the surface, evolving into the form given to them by man. This transformation is a reflection of the constant movement that takes place between our human roots and our aspirations.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Agnieszka Aleksandra Bar,

I was born and brought up in the Sudety Mountains in Poland – a region with glass traditions. I am a designer attracted by the embers of the glass furnace. Fascinated by natural phenomena and human nature. I discovered glass as a multidimensional medium, through which I tell meaningful stories. I create in cooperation with glassblowers. My intention is building new dimensions of relations with self and other humans, and initiating a new dynamic between us and objects. I create sensual objects that enrich everyday experiences and give space for reflection. I bet on timelessness in objects.
