VIKTÓRIA MARÓTI
«The focus of my work is the combination of textiles and ceramics to create sensory illusions. My porcelain objects challenge and push the boundaries of the materials. The working process is interdisciplinary, i.e. it belongs to both textile and ceramic arts. My objects are created through the symbiosis of materials. Is porcelain capable of such a transformation, of imitating another medium? My work is constructed through an experimental, rethought weaving technique. This makes it possible to create structures that contradict the character of porcelain. The use of several media simultaneously results in hybrid objects that visually deceive the senses. The viewer discovers material that does not seem to be what he/she expected. My aim is to work without stereotypes of the material and to open up new dimensions of perception.»
