Mirroring the truths of one’s existence seems to be the main purpose also behind Milena Naef’s new works, which deal with the theme of motherhood and the contradictions, prejudices, and complexities that surround it.
With clever references to fairy tales and technology, she introduces us to a magical universe made of ancestral symbols, animals, and hidden messages. Her glass works transfer drawings: in one, new crack lines are integrated through the firing process, loosening up and continuing the creative flow. In the other, the slick, shiny surface of the glass displays engraved and meticulously planned drawings.
