Ágnes Herczeg Explained

Ágnes Herczeg is a Hungarian artist who works with found wood and embroidery with only plant-based materials.[1] [2] She was born in Kecskemét.[3] Herczeg is a graduate of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and studied textile conservation.[4] [5] Her embroidery has been produced with methods including needle lace, pillow lace, and macramé.[6]
