Andréa Berthet (b.1994) is a glassmaker artist based in Denmark.
She sees the glass material as a vehicle for meaning,
and senses. Her work with glass merges with her words,
creating a dialogue between form, substance and viewer.
“This material substitutes to my words.
The creation of a pieces resembles choreography.
The glass gives the rhythm to each movement.
Between malleability and solidity,
brutality and delicateness,
I explore paradoxes of glass.
Through which, I glimpse a space destined
for the re-naissance.”

Andréa aims to "think movement" as the driving force
and essence of creation. The installations she creates appeal
to bodily and visual sensations, leaving room for contemplation.
Her intention is to offer the viewer a sensory experience,
and more broadly to try to reconnect people with their bodies.
In her approach of the matter,
glass gives her infinity of possibilities
of explorations by its chemical and plastic proprieties.
Andréa perceives through the molten glass,
a metaphor of the lifecycle:
It is in being in face with an inert matter,
imprinted from a passed movement,
that we could understand the complexity of the substance.

Andréa perceives through the molten glass,
a metaphor of the lifecycle:
Molten glass is like a body alive, warm,
from which the life slips away, in the course of time.
Like a corpse, it becomes cold and static.
