The Dysplasio series by Anna Jožová delves into the theme of growth anomalies and evolutionary deviations, particularly focusing on the relationship between host organisms and parasites. The smooth vase shapes symbolize the host, while overlays on the surface represent the parasite. Jožová interprets these natural anomalies not as negative but as essential for the balance and evolution of ecosystems.
Mold-blown glass – Blowing molten glass into multi-part metal molds, allowing natural overflow and bubbles, showcasing the dynamic and fluid nature of the material.
Forest glass technique – Applying glass drops onto specific areas and imprinting them with custom metal stamps, creating textured overlays. Jožová modernizes this historic Central European technique to give it a contemporary aesthetic.
Iris technique – Creating iridescent, rainbow-like effects that enhance the textures and surfaces of the objects. This technique, now rare, is revived in Jožová’s work to highlight the organic forms.
