Philosophy
Csongvay Blackwood is the combined creative expression of Csilla Csongvay and Matt Blackwood.
Their artworks are based on the interplay of void and fill, movement from stillness, lightness from weight, and the tensions that exist between the curve and straight, and all these elements combine to form the creative foundation of Csongvay Blackwood. Csilla and Matt design and create their ceramic artworks by hand: initially by drawing dozens of designs, and then using various slab-building methods to create a series of prototypes, which are further refined in order to achieve the desired geometries. Most pieces are made over several weeks, and some pieces require months to dry.
All artworks are designed and made in Csongvay Blackwood’s studio in Melbourne, Australia, and their artworks have received awards and been commissioned to appear in a range of visual forms in galleries and public spaces across Australia and overseas.
