known as an American textile artist and sculptor. Her highly individual, puzzle-like assemblages helped to propel the growth of the contemporary fiber arts movement. Laky’s art traverses an extraordinary personal story: born amid bombings of World War II; escape from post-war, Soviet dominated Hungary; sponschool in Oklahoma; student days at the University of California, Berkeley; the founding of Fiberworks Center for Textile Arts in the 70s; and innovations as a professor at UC Davis. The publication Gyöngy Laky: Screwing with Order provides insight into her studio practice, activism and teaching philosophy, which champions sustainable art and design, original thinking and the value of the unexpected.
