| Name: Ágnes Herczeg Pronunciation: Art Movement: Contemporary Art Born: in Hungary Main Medium: Textile (Fabric), Embroidery, Sculpture Artist Quote: "The most important thing is that you really desire to master the skill and then perform it with all your heart." About the Artist: Herczeg graduated from the University of Fine Arts in Budapest as a textile restorer, where she got her interest in embroideries at museums. She devoted most of her time to studying needle lace and pillow lace. About the Artwork: Preparing needle lace is a time-consuming and delicate work, which requires a high degree of attention. The contour of the needle lace works is made of thin wires, which enables a suitable stiffness for sculpture. The lace work is dyed afterwards. The frame of the pictures is made of small branches, bark, coconut shell or any other material. [Source] The ethereal pieces often portray traditional women’s work in the garden or countryside. Planning is an extremely important part of her work, which frequently feels like a very complex puzzle. [Source] |
