‘Hayatýn Dokusu - Tissue of
Life ’ – a textile
installation

_______________________________
_
It’s the theme of life in
balance with the cosmos,
growing and maturing at all
lifesteps that interests me.
The idea started with the
study of matriarchal mythology
- one of the first answers
developed to questions about
the beginning...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
as child & teenager I always painted and have been interested in art - more subconscient than conscient ... my mother was an artistic person and taught us children a lot about creating things by hand!!
I wanted to be graphic designer, they said 'no' - too difficult to earn money .. so I became an occupational therapist and loved my profession.
later then, living in greece and turkey, I started to do patchwork!! and that was the serious beginning of ma textile art carreer!! |
