Artist Angela Glajcar works with fragile materialstorn strips of paper, delicate glass fabrics,

and plasticwhich she layers and curves to create sculptural forms that, with the help of incident

light, develop into bodies that seem to glow from within. The sculptor made a name for herself

on the basis of her tiered paper sculptures: terforations. The term comes from a combination

of foramen (hole) and terra incognita (unknown or unexplored territory). The catalogue raisonné,

which includes more than 1,600 objects, reliefs, and spatial installations, gives a comprehensive

account of the trajectories involved in the development of artistic works that are often temporary

and site specific.
