Anna Berglund Returns to Galleri Glas with Folia Aurum

Anna Berglund returns to Galleri Glas with Folia Aurum, a new exhibition continuing her exploration of ornament as a structural principle in glass. Recurring motifs such as pinecones, acanthus leaves and festoons move beyond decoration, forming the basis for an investigation into symbolic form and spatial presence. The hand blown works reference urns, goblets and flacons while resisting function, positioning Berglund’s practice in dialogue with glassmaking tradition while shifting away from functionalist ideals. Developed in close collaboration with master glassblower Micke Johansson, the works focus on transparency, light and volume. Alongside the glass pieces, Berglund presents selections from her ongoing paper series Opus, structured through repetition and origami based folding systems. The exhibition also reflects the breadth of her wider practice, from public commissions in Sweden to permanent installations including Crown Jewels of Småland in Brussels and a recent work for Terminal 5 at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
