About the Book
Portfolio of images and inspirations for expressing the author's connections with Japan. Influenced deeply by Japanese culture, at least certain layers of it, in her glass works she is searching for more symbolic meanings, using simple forms. The wabi-sabi principles are close to her heart. The beauty and meaning of imperfectness and impermanence are usually present in her works. The collection of four glass plates is specially created for the exhibition KOKORO, held at Frauenau Glass Museum from March 26 to October 8, 2017.
