The following extract is taken from Franz X. Hoeller's lecture held at the German Organisation of Glass Techniques in Erfurt, 23.9.2000

"The starting point of an object by Anja Isphording is the apparent turning to nature without wanting to reproduce it. Thus she manages to come very close to the idea of Paul Cezanne's creations wherein an ideal of " Harmony parallel to nature " is captured.

On the one hand her works awaken the impression of intimacy and identity, on the other they withdraw from a clear biological definition.

So it's up to the observer and his fantasy to appreciate thevessels as pure unpretentiousness.

Therefore (her) works make an especially interesting contribution to modern glass. They are neither loud nor colorful, even a poster like effect is foreign to them. On the contrary their strength lies in the self assertion and a pause in the rushing of time."
