'Memory , Gallery Artist Ankara , Solo Exhibition, 13 October 2009

Images from my personal background coexist with customs and traditions, religional constraints, authority and violence, patriarchal structure and traces of social conditioning that shapes our memory. This coexistence sometimes gets pornographic through reconstruction and disintegration of childhood memories.

Primary source of _my_work_s is the childhood years as they are he most alive part of every individual’s memory. My sharing of ‘usual and accustomed’ images in a sense with the audience questions the sacrosanct ‘family’ term. .It can be said that my works (painting, sculpture and installation) are opening the ‘deviant views’ of patriarchal structure up for discussion where the authority and violence are getting more and more usual when it’s blended with customs, traditions and religional constraints. In one sense, these paintings most of which have narrative expression as the others let the audience get involved in my private.
