about usEwa’s work is inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s book ‘The Poetics of Space’ and deals with the perceptions of a house as a ‘private space’. Always container, sometimes contained, the house serves in her work as the portal to metaphors of imagination. We need houses in order to dream, in order to imagine. These dreamscape sculptures are about vulnerability and protection. She is exploring here how we experience intimate places and to what extent our memories and experiences from childhood influence our need for this ‘dream place’. The symbols she uses are very personal and therefore more intuitive than logical. The ‘streets’ are journeys towards a safe place. Every ‘street’ represents a different atmosphere, creates a different environment and reflects a mood or expectation to be found upon reaching the ‘dream house’. our glassThe method she uses to create her work is called sand-casting. It is a technique involving pouring hot glass into a mould made out of special damp casting sand. It is a fast, free and immediate method of working with glass requiring the significant physical and energetic involvement of the creator. Ewa has selected this method to create her pieces as it permits a free and unrestricted expression of an idea. contacting us
