Renowned American textile artist and sculptor Gyöngy Laky (b. 1944) is a true wood whisperer, whose highly individual, puzzle-like assemblages of timber and textiles have played a pivotal role in the growth of the contemporary fiber-arts movement. Laky's art is a testament to an extraordinary personal journey. Born amidst the bombings of World War II, she bravely escaped from post-war, Soviet-dominated Hungary and found refuge in a family in Ohio. She attended grade school in Oklahoma before pursuing her studies at the prestigious University of California, Berkeley. Following her academic pursuits, Laky founded the Fiberworks Center for Textile Arts in the 1970s, a hub that fostered innovation and promoted sustainable art and design. She also served as a professor at the University of California, Davis, where she championed original thinking and the value of the unexpected.
This captivating book offers a deep insight into Laky's studio practice, activism, and teaching philosophy, which are rooted in her unwavering commitment to sustainable art and design, original thinking, and the transformative power of the unexpected. Through her art, Laky invites viewers to explore the intricate connections between nature, culture, and the human spirit, challenging them to think beyond the boundaries of traditional art forms. Her work serves as a reminder of the profound impact that art can have on our lives and the world around us, and her legacy continues to inspire and influence artists and designers worldwide.
