Anu Penttinen
Born 1974, Helsinki

Notions of manmade environment, both urban and suburban – signs, traffic, lights, noise and maps, just to mention a few – act as triggers for the design process in my work. I am intrigued by the relationship between order and disorder, and how these can be translated, through personal journeys, on to black-and-white glass objects. I work with both fusing and blowing techniques in order to create strong works, mainly in the two polarised colours, black and white, but recently adding new colours such as red, orange and yellow. I combine traditional glassmaking techniques with contemporary imagery, including variations of grid lines, whether strict and orderly or more organic like those on a metropolitan street map.
