concept proposal        

My starting point is my interest in (functional as well as sculptural) objects from the so-called history of the 

applied arts.  I am interested in the border between the ‘autonomous’ and ‘applied’ qualities of such objects as 

well as, in their historical and social / cultural context. 

My working method is a research into the places (books, digitalized archives, libraries, internet) where such 

objects are being presented. I  collect visual material. I make prints of those images that move me. Later I try to 

re-construct these  photographic images into drawings  and/or sculptures. 

Questions relating to our perception of images, perception of history, tradition and cultural background are 

central questions in my work.

In Istanbul I would like to present drawings that relate to the Islamic pottery in general, and to Iznik pottery 

and the great collections of porcelain in the Top Kapi Palace in particular.
