Birth,
Wool, cooton, metal; hand weaving
20x 20 cm, 2010

Air is one of the classical elements (earth,air, fire and water). A humanbeing’s life begins with a breath of air. The piece called as “birth” is about the beginning of life. I intend to show the importance of air for life through using an open structure in a woven textile piece.

I use double faced- fabric as a metaphor to show different sides of life experiences in my works. When you turn the fabric from back to front you can see different textures and colors similarly whatever you see (infer) in a situation that might have bilateral sides and can be interpreted in negative and positive ways.

Copper wire, Polyester thread; knitting, crochet

Woman bady has ironically become a clothing object while clothing was a tool for women to express their desires for adorning themselves and beauty up to date. For this purpose, I wanted to give the form of a woman body to my work by combining copper wires, a long time existing concept, and polyester, a technological product, with traditional hand-knitting and crochet techniques. While achieving this, I formed my work utilizing the flexibility of copper and preserving the aesthetic form of the woman body.

To be between, 2007
Cotton; tie-dye, stitching

As a site specific installation project, my work entitled “to be between" refers to later historical aspects of the Jacques Building being the American School of Ballet Arts and the location of “Amused Clothing” where, among others, 60’s style clothing are sold. As a consequence I tie-dyed cotton cloth relating to the 60’s hippy style and used tulle material to represent the ballet costumes. The intention of “to be between” comes from indetermined situations and sensations between which we sometimes find ourselves: happiness and despair; to be near and far away; to be on time and late; etc. As a result, I gave the form of a circle to my installation to make visitors have an experience of being between the pink colored walls and darkness of the ceiling in the room.
