My husband and I have moved
several times in the past. This
has made it very difficult to
collect even a few of the many
pictures that have been taken of
my works. I have selected from
those, a few which were
acceptable for scanning.
The
Walls!
 Sometimes
it is easy, sometimes a
challenge, and sometimes it just
feels impossible to decorate the
house or apartment you move into.
Also, from time to time it will
be the landlord that will
restrict you decorating. You may
not have enough time or money to
decorate. Sometimes however, you
may find yourself with a lot of
time to try some interesting
ideas out. I have tried just
about all of the different
approaches, so I have experience
with many. The samples show a few
of images from the pictures I
collect. These images
demonstrate painted surfaces,
which were cut or carved and then
glued together to hang or mounted
on the walls. Some give a 3D
illusion or a theatrical,
background type of feeling. The
materials that were used were:
wood, textile, silver plate and
foam board. Sometimes I made
Nature's gifts such as leafs,
twigs, all kind of nuts into a
composition on wood, burlap or
cork surfaces.
The
Wood!
 Wood
is a wonderful material. If only
my wrist was stronger... I was
fortunate enough to know one of
Venezuela's most famous sculptor
Pedro Barreto when we were there
for about a year because of my
husband's work. Barreto works
with wood and he is a master of
structures and forms. While I was
his student, he gave me a big
piece of hard tropical wood to
carve on. But he looked at my
wrists and told me that it is not
for such small boned hands and he
recommended me to use other
material such as clay. The
samples show some masks and two
supporting pillars I made several
years ago.
The
Clay!
 I
finished the rustic carving,
mentioned above and after two
weeks of wrist resting I switched
to a softer, much more easier
handled material, clay. The
samples show some studies I
made.
Making sculpture is something
which needs to be done in a cat
free environment. Painting is
even more fun for the four paw
friends. Because of this I have
had little chance to practice in
the past couple of years. Some of
my work were left behind in
Holland, where I could study
while my husband was occupy with
his work for about a year. Some
of them are in my friends and
relatives house in Hungary. Some
haven't even been photographed
but those which were, I still
collecting pictures of.
