Description
This sculptural vessel is part of the recent collection of "aheste" series. medium black & crank stoneware hand coiled one of a kind sculptural vessel approx dimensions: 39cm x 35cm unglazed raw finish approx weight 6-7kg -aheste collection- The literal meaning of "aheste' is "slowly" as well as "calm" in Turkish which represents my joyful & deliberate journey as an artist into a new territory. With this new collection, my inspiration was memories of life moving at a slower pace & a desire to discover moments of serenity. With "a h e s t e " I encourage you to pause & enjoy the beauty of finding hidden details in simple objects. This new work explores these often-overlooked details & the sentiments behind their creation. The a h e s t e collection is based on traditional Turkish jugs, pitchers, bowls, & amphoras. Combining centuries of history, architecture, & culture with the land of my childhood. I was born in Gaziantep, South East Turkey- Eastern Anatolia - a city with a proud cultural heritage where local craftspeople remain fiercely protective of their traditional methods of creating objects for daily use. I grew up surrounded by handmade objects, whether it be the intricate wood carvings in the doorways & window frames or the coppersmiths creating artefacts in workshops throughout the city. The memories of a childhood lived at a gentle & peaceful pace inspired this new collection as I invite the world to re-appreciate the beauty of simple everyday objects.
