| Work of art I would like to make I am a Kurdish (Turkey) born, Norwegian Artist, living in between Norway and England. Through my work I want to draw out new ways of viewing and understanding the discourse of culture and identity. My work is about being female, the role and status of a woman within the Kurdish/ Islamic society and living with these Islamic traditions within western culture. In my work I have created an awareness of my position and the new ways of looking at feminism, culture and identity. Being in between two cultures is like being between past and present and belonging in both places and in neither. I have a strong understanding and sympathy of the problems that arise from the differences between generations and culture. My aim is to question and creatively explore and research this ‘space’. I have been working with human hair for a few years, but mainly during my Masters. Using human hair as the prominent medium in my sculptural and performance work, I question attitudes to gender, religion and multiculturalism from both perspectives. I collected the hair mainly from cities in Hampshire, Winchester, Southampton, Eastleigh and Basingstoke, Bristol, Oslo and occasionally even London. For the Big 4 competition I would like to make a big ball out of human hair around number 4. By having it compact human hair (like the cube 16670 weighs, 472,60kg) or construct the shape of the ball (hollow) and by felting the hair many meters, one could put it around the ball. I made a model of a hair ball and had it outside for few months. It was in all weather condition but the ball still did not come out of shape. The cube drawing around the ball is to show that one could make it out of glass for more protection. |
