About Me
| Introduction | I am Agnes Husz, a ceramic artist, living in Japan. I developed a very unique way of making. The basic element of all my pieces are the long flat clay-strips what is very much like the Japanese kimono obi/kimono belt, stretching out from clay-slab by hand. In this way I make small and large scale objects, installations or even bowls. I would appreciate it if you follow me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, thank you! |
| What I Love about Ceramics | intensive contact with materiality |
| How I started with ceramics | I wanted to became a sculpture and went to the art secondary school, but there weren’t sculpturing class, so I choose the Ceramics Class instead. Than I was 15 |
| What inspires me | my surrounding : culture, architecture, nature, Zen gardens, Japanese flower arrangement, wabi-sabi, oriental philosophy |
| What I'm working on at the moment | large and small objects, functional sculptures, large sculptures, platters, tea ceremony wares |
| My Artist Statement | I am an artist working with clay. I freely shape my objects just like a three-dimensional drawing. This is what gives my works a recognizable, defining character. Since I have been living in Japan for almost 30 years, the oriental accent is not just a coincidence. The culture and philosophy of this beautiful country naturally entwinning with my originals, and that is how my pieces, combining East and West are born. |
