Constructing
die Unexpected
Using the basics of nature as
her essential linear element, the
artist and educator Gyongy
Laky has built extraordinary
installations indoors and out
in cities and villages around the
world. Mija Reidel offers rich
insights into her nature-bound
works, activist’s sensibility
and experimental attitude.

branches she sculpted

the Green Issue of
The
New Tork Times Maga-
zine
in April 2008.

interior from exterior.
