About the Item
During the past 5 years, noted artist Anne Gant has been creating her own glassblowing process, which is a combination of printing and drawing with glass. First, she sculpts hot glass into shapes and lines. Then, while the glass is still screaming hot from the glory hole, she presses the glass forms into wet sheets of Arches rag paper. Instantly, the glass begins to burn and smoke the paper. In this dramatic process, the glass becomes cracked, scarred and destroyed. All that remains is the mark on the paper.
The casual viewer may not instantly spot that these prints are made from glass, but no other material would be able to create these high-temperature, organic burns. They have a richness, translucency and liquidity that is an echo of the original glass form. The resulting burnt impressions have a high level of detail as the burns pass through layers of paper and also create embossed areas. They range in color from areas of rich, dense blacks to smoky sepias and watery yellows. The burns are full of light- they have a mysterious photographic quality; in some areas they look as if they are backlit.
