Among her various approaches in working with glass, with these pieces Françoise Bolli proposes a journey from the manifestations of the material to her questions about the technique known as thermoforming. How can her explorations be read poetically and in a progressive manner, when coherence is not immediately apparent?

Françoise Bolli (b. Switzerland, 1963) constantly seeks new sensitive and technical approaches in relation to this formidable, magical, marvellous, surprising, deceptive, and demanding material that is glass. Is there any material that holds as much potential as glass? The artist’s work in general plays with the boundary between art and craft.
