Living in Ayvalik, Turkey, I've been working with wood for almost 9 years. With no academic art education, meeting and learning from the wonderful artist Ayhan Tomak offered me a therapeutic way to convey my experience. I feel an endless gratitude toward him.

 

I find that whatever I'm working on works on me at the same

time. It's much like freehand writing; regardless of the

starting point, the process of making is where "it" happens,

whatever "it" may be.

 

Sincerity has always been my way. Of course with it comes

escapism, delusion and harsh truths. I try to incorporate these

in my works as much as the moment allows me.

 

Another reason I'm doing this is to reach out, I guess.

To invite you to play.

When we hear a birdsong, it's not the song itself that is beautiful.

A birdsong is just sounds a bird makes. Upon hearing it, the beauty that is already present in us resonates with and reacts to it.

 

So if you hear the birdsong here, let's play.
