Part of the Aesthetic Primitive Series created as a response to the drawings made on location during residency in Cappadocia Turkey. I was very interested in the feeling of being held and contained within the ancient hand-carved caves. I noticed the curvilinear and organic forms of the walls and doors. It gave the feeling of being inside a warm, comforting space.
This body of work was created as a result of field research conducted in Uçhisar, Cappadocia, Türkiye in November, 2024 as part of the A.R.C. Residency hosted by Taşkonaklar Hotel in association with Ambidexter Gallery, Istanbul.
