statement:
|
I work with a combination of freeform knitting & crochet inspired by organic forms and nature. I love experimenting with using unusual materials such as nylon tights, nylon cords, cut up plastic bags, wire, rags, etc. My Hungarian background has given me a taste for bright, vibrant colours, floral motifs as well as the love of folk art and appreciation of traditional handicrafts. I make sculptural pieces, necklaces, wraps and bags. |
