KOVÁCS TÚRI Emese
1977, Zenta (Senta, SRB), felter
The sof woollen threads cling to each other and smooth out into a hardy material in her works. She draws on Hungarian motifs and is not averse to utilising other branches of folk art in her pattern designs, recreating them in the world of felt. Trough her work she strives to enliven tradition and seeks balance in everyday life. She was awarded the title of Young Master of Folk Art in 2013. She has been a scholarship holder of the Hungarian Academy of Arts since 2021.
