Maria Bang Espersen is an artist working in glass who purposefully challenges the conventional rules of glass blowing to invent her unique techniques. The outcome is playful yet elegant sculptures created with equal amounts of control and chance, thereby manifesting her interest in deconstructing existing hierarchies within the world of craftsmanship.

“Soft Series” is a group of sculptures that she has continued to explore since 2011 and is made by stretching and folding hot glass multiple times before shaping it by hand wearing heat-resistant gloves.
