Connection to Heritage
As I
embarked on the journey of working with ceramics, it often made me think
of father and his village in Kütahya. I've never been there, but knew it
was a place renowned for it's ceramic arts. My own ceramic methodology was
experimental & I worked a lot with forming glass by hand. Due to seeing
the silica-based mediums transforming from solid to liquid many times
over, it was difficult for me to regard glass as solid state after it
cooled down. To me, these materials were more than mere artistic elements.
The application of heat echoed my father's fascination with climbing to
the rims of volcanoes and his lifelong intrigue with magma. He was
captivated by how heat could morph, shape-shift, and form rocks. My
parents, avid fossickers, also collected rocks, further deepening my
connection through the medium of extreme heat, or fire.
Exploring Heat and Transformation
I
grew increasingly attuned to the intensity of heat in my work. I
discovered that my fireplace typically operated between 600-800°C,
occasionally reaching around 900°C if I pushed it. With my Fresnel lens, I
managed to reach temperatures of 1060°C and sometimes exceed 1100°C. This
experience led me to wonder if the swirling clouds were caused by
extremely hot beams, because of how my forge was creating similar swirls
with copper. It made me see Jupiter like a gaseous but spiky ball, a fiery
orb - with radiating spikes of heat. A notable sample featured in the
video, was suffocating copper with chromium - that contributed to the
creation of ruby red.
Struggle with
Homophones
The video also delves into a more personal struggle
with the Turkish word «kay» (to slip or slide) vs
«kaymak» (cream, the
part that floats on top of milk). This duality was trying to capture my
struggle with the suffix -ma/-me, because they
were strongly associated as signals for “don't do [that]!!”. There is
similar difficulty with -mak/-mek suffix. My
mind won't immediately register «kaymak» as
the cream, because this suffix will be processing the 'kay' as a form of
'slipping' ...even though cream is a slippery substance. It's important to
note that 'kay' - is a highly problematic homophone in my registry. As a
kid, I didn't fuse with the whole body of meanings that are glued to this
root. That's why I captured it in this piece, as a record and exploration
of that nuance.
