Colorful lace sculptures of wood and thread

Ágnes Herczeg developed her artistic style through the practice of traditional lacemaking. The results combine found items like coconut shells and wood with delicate lace forms.

She writes:

Over the years I have learned many traditional handicraft techniques. I have extensively studied the craft of embroidery and lace-making (needle lace, pillow lace, macramé, braiding etc.). In my work I use only natural materials of vegetable origin: yarns, threads, textiles, as well as tree branches, roots, fruits and seeds. I often make the moulded parts of my pictures from ceramic material. I combine various techniques in my works, thus traditional handicraft is complemented with natural wood and ceramic material to form the image.
