Angela Glajcar
Angela Glajcar's paper objects embody sculpture and installation. They examine the way in which space is experienced using a material that is fragile and light. In the act of ripping and perforating a material that is traditionally used as a two-dimensional support, Glajcar gives paper a strong sculptural presence. The vertically hung sheets of white paper produce impressions of great depth drawing the viewer inward and explore the way space is experienced.
Born 1970 in Mainz, where she lives and works.
