‘My work is the result of my investigations into the nature of light, colour and perception. I work across several media such as painting, sculpture and video projection to explore relationships between object, space and the viewer. What excites me most is colour and light reflections, the relationship between the materials and how we perceive them.’

Can you talk a bit about the prize you won at Jealous, the practice that you applied on your sculpture, about that characteristic practice and the production process?

Every year, one person who’s having their master’s degrees at one of the fine art colleges in London elected for the Jealous Prize. Those persons whom are selected are invited to the printing squad to make a new edition when they were guest artists to Jealous Print Studios programme. Also, those prints enter to Jealous Graduate Print collection of Victoria and Albert Museum.

This prize, is usually given to graduates who works on printing, was given me this year to my three dimensional work ‘Ladder’. I think the most effective factor was the fact that I create prints which I use different materials together. By making prints on perspex with laser, I combine an organic material bamboo and an industrial material, perspex. On these laser prints, we made some experiences on screen print options at Jealous Print Studio. By printing different colours on transparent perspex, we explore how we can print different colors in a row, how they create reflections with light.

The reproduction of my sculpture, Ladder, was possible because of its technique and materials. Before that, when I was creating my 3D works, I never thought they could have editions. But after that, while I make certain sculptures, especially for my works with perspex and prints, I will consider the possibility of making editions.
