Andrea Dezso takes the leitmotif of her life - an artist caught between civilizations - and gives it to us in crafted form. The entire body of her work, from the drawings and fragments of her journal, to the cut-out silhouettes, to the ceramic figures, to the needlepoint and kitchenware, is the material for a gigantic story: part fairytale, part diary, part chapter of world history.
