Ann Veronica Janssens 32 New Pink Blocks (600/3), 2025
The work consists of 32 pink blocks of in cast glass arranged in a rectangular shape. The seriality of the repeating rectangular shapes that create the structure is undercut by the uniqueness of each of the glass bricks with its slight variations and tiny inclusions of bubbles. The strictness of the gridded arrangement dissolves as the light plays on the different surfaces. Nestled pattern and maze-like impressions of infinite spaces, create an intricate, ever-changing architecture of light and color held seemingly “within” the sculptural objects. The series of works evolves from Ann Veronica Janssens' previous experiments, such as her constructions of cement blocks. Here, the glass has replaced the cement and plays with the light and the characteristics of the material.
