I was fascinated
by the Abelam ethnic masks I saw at an exhibition.
This led me to
research ethnic masks in Africa and Papua New Guinea, and I came to know the idea of animism.
Since then, I
have been creating works with animism as my main theme.
I use crochet as
my technique. The techniques of plastic arts and sculpture are created in such a way that there is first a rough mass and then the resolution of that mass is
increased.
On the other
hand, the three-dimensional modeling by knitting is a method in which the shape gradually expands from the edges.
The form
does not exist until the yarn is knitted.
I work with the
image of giving form to an invisible existence and making it manifest.
