Annie Glass

Annie Glass was born in Melbourne Australia and lives in the bayside suburb of Hampton East with her family.
Annie has completed a three year degree at Monash University majoring in sculpture and receiving a high distinction for sculpture. After completing her degree Annie first focused on bronze sculpture; however, after having her first child Annie wanted to move to a quieter medium that she could practice from home leading to her experiments with wire.
Through her wire sculptures Annie aims to portray movement and also a lack of balance, so that the work can sometimes appear to defy gravity. Annie paints her galvanised wire pieces with metal paint and verdigris patina which is traditionally used on bronze and copper and what Annie originally loved to colour her bronze works with. She then paints the works with other acrylic and enamel colours which adds to the depth and movement. Some of her influences are Picasso, dogs, the beach, the female form and movement.
“I like to have humour in my work as I find that people can identify with a humourous piece. I like to give the works and Australian flavour and I find the beach, dogs and the Hills hoist work towards that. I want to remind people of their childhoods and just generally use human themes so people can identify with the work. It is figurative because I want it to be accessible to the average person and to tell a story about life. Sculpture is my passion and I am so lucky to be doing something that I love and it makes other people happy to.” - Annie Glass -
