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.
