New work is coming along!

More Stairs

I return to the theme of 'stairs' again and again in my ceramics practice. I love the form, the variability and endless possibilities in addition to the metaphors the culture associates with. Experimenting with the staging gives interesting results as well. 

So some more stairs again :)

Slab-built black stoneware, fired in electric kiln (980-1280C). 

Porcelain slip and ceramic stains are used on the surfaces. 

Bisque fired piece in the back:15x15x15cm 

High fired piece in the front: 13x13x20cm

Stairs to Nowhere

I love experimenting with stair forms. Staircases fascinate me both literally and metaphorically. Here I am playing with their sculptural quality.

High fired (1280C). Black stoneware: 25x12x11cm,

Exhibition Photos

A few photographs from our collective exhibition in Halles de la Fonderie, Carouge, June 2015 just before the closing. It was a successful exhibition and a wonderful experience. I am really happy to be part of it :)

My special thanks goes to Michelle Dethurens who enabled this beautiful exhibition.

Setting the stage...

Installing the pieces for the exhibition

Getting ready for the exhibition. I am trying to find the exact place and the right angle for each piece :)

The opening of the exhibition will be on 3rd of June.

Handmade!

I can't imagine anything less than these naturally dyed wool felt cases to protect my pieces, designed and handmade specifically for the Reflections 2015 by a traditional feltmaker in Konya, Turkey. Thank you Silvia Ines Garoselli and Busra Karakaya, Atolye Ikonium, for their beautiful work.
