Description
Script, of 2008, is a work constructed with simple, lowly metal shavings, a work which conveys a light, minimalist mood, a feature which is typical of her latest creations. Hatziargyrou continues to develop her creativity between the ontological and the sensuous. Her works are actions in special stimuli, a rendering of ideas and feelings, in which the conceptual interweaves harmoniously with the work of the hands, as an escape route of purification, through the time-consuming, laborious sewing, weaving, and matching of the hard, but malleable, materials which are the structural elements of her works.
