Adrianna Majer
About
Adrianna Majer is a glass and ceramic artist exploring the themes of girlhood and sisterhood.
Inspired by childhood, coming-of-age friendships and growing up together with other girls, her work celebrates bonds that women create with other women throughout their lives.
In her practice, Adrianna uses toys and found objects that would be shared with friends and played with. Beads are a reminder of symbolic friendship bracelets made, when promising one another to stay friends forever.
Glass, tangled into complicated shapes, symbolises the relationships, whereas ceramics the fragility, complexity, and importance of bonds and memories women make with each other.
Her sculptures however, joyful and playful as they are, become a criticism of society. Typically, conventional ‘girly’ colours are used to highlight society’s expectations for young girls and women. There is often an expectation that girls should wear pink or pastel colours, always be well behaved, play with certain toys like dolls and wear bows no matter if they love them or hate them.
