Anne Notebaert (Belgium), 'Speaking Sea' collection. She seeks the simplicity and balance of nature, the beauty of the sea, the everyday, what is unobtrusively present. Her work grew from the fascination with barnacles, small inconspicuous beauties on the beach. The first glass works were simple and poetic, afterwards she tried to depict the sea sponges realistically, but through further searching, applying new techniques and experimenting, her work has become more and more abstract.
An alienating, surprising creation is created. A new emotion. There is no longer a relationship with the original sea creature, only the memory of the moment of wonder.
Her mystery clearly lies in the method she uses to produce her glass art: fusing, deforming, working in front of the flame, glass casting.
