Anna Torfs works at the intersection of sculpture and vessel, drawing on centuries-old Bohemian glass-blowing tradition to produce objects that feel genuinely new. The Armadillo Sphere is among her most distinctive forms: a composition of organic, segmented geometry that reads differently in every light. Each piece is mouth-blown by hand, meaning no two are identical. Layers of translucent and opaque glass are built up during the blowing process, creating interior depth that shifts as natural light moves across the surface. The effect is less a static object than a slow, continuous performance of refraction and shadow. Hand-blown using traditional Bohemian techniques Layered translucent and opaque glass construction Each piece is unique by nature of the hand-craft process Functions as sculptural vessel or standalone art object Made to order The Armadillo Sphere holds its own as a solitary presence on a pedestal or table, and holds equal authority within a curated arrangement of glass or ceramic work. It is an object for collectors who understand that utility and artistry are not opposites.
