Ann Veronica Janssens shows her audience a different, more “fluid” world that briefly embodies the immaterial. One of Janssens’s ongoing fascinations is the way coloured glass can make changes in lighting that spans days or seasons visible, and almost tangible. The artist describes these works as “a kind of glass sandwich”: two corrugated sheets of glass with an iridescent colour filter wedged in between. The corrugation enables viewers to influence the way the colours change by looking at the work from different angles. The work may be simple in form, but it’ll never look the same way twice. A confrontation with her work transforms watching into marvelling. Janssens notes: “There’s nothing more beautiful than a person’s own perception. I try to look for the boundaries in this.” 

Ann Veronica Janssens lives and works in Brussels. She represented Belgium at the 1999 Venice Bienniale. Since then, her work has been shown internationally at countless exhibitions.
