- I don't think there can be a better moment for this artist to return to her native land with an exhibition presenting the combination of her excellent education and the experience she acquired in Europe, as well as her resourcefulness and imagination that enabled her to work so successfully in entirely different conditions in Australia," wrote Grace Cochrane, a curator and editor of the magazine Object, in an article about Ema Varga that accompanied her Belgrade’s exhibition. Ten years ago Ema embarked on conquering the world from her tworoom Australian apartment. She installed a special stove in the kitchen for making glass.
"There are no glass factories in Australia, only workshops, and I was forced to invent new techniques. Fuse technique attracted me as it enabled me to obtain a multi-layer glass with floating elements inside. This opened new possibilities and I enjoyed them because I am fascinated with the transparency of glass, its glistening nature, and the possibility of freezing three-dimensional pictures inspired by nature inside it", says Ema. This artist mastered a special technique of glass shaping using thousands of glass splinters that create three-dimensional sculptures of cast and polished glass. Casting takes only one day, but two weeks are needed for glass to cool. Cold glass is then brushed and polished to perfection. This is how these wonderful forms in the most amazing colors are being created for which Grace Cochran enthusiastically says that "…these artworks by colors and patterns reflect moods and emotions they represent. We can all interpret them in our own way as we do it with the corrugated water, the leaves on branches, sudden showers and haze, the rays of light and the patterns on sand." |
