Former Bonheur

In addition to creating large environmental installations, free-standing sculptures, and works for the wall, Gyöngy Laky often creates works, such as Former Bonheur, inspired by what she sees as the timelessness, elegance, and balance of the open bowl form. Motivated by concern for the environment, Laky is known for working in recycled materials, from both the natural (e.g. prunings from California orchards) and man-made (e.g. bottle corks, colored plastic tapes) environments.
