Balázs Telegdi
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I continuously experiment, pushing the boundaries of possibilities—both in the field of glass and in my personal capabilities. For my new ideas, I often need to construct unique, specialized melting and shaping equipment, bridging my artistic and creative interests with the world of science. The more I understand the material properties of my chosen medium—the physics and chemistry behind it—the wider the doors of possibility open for me, often leading in directions my instructors once cautioned against. Experimentation, even if unsuccessful, is never a failure for me; rather, it is a direction, a thought that needs further development.
