At the beginning of the term, when we watched art works of Motomichi Nakamura, I was affected by how he used his own culture as a source of material. In his videos, there is a thematic color spectrum of red black and white; which are important colors for Japanese culture.
So for my conference project, I wanted to use the same idea for my own culture. I am from Turkey, and turkey harbors a great variety of Islamic and roman art. I am influenced by the tile forms called Cini, a style of ceramic glaze. Tiles have ottoman arabesque patterns such as tulips and cloves. Through my conference project I want to reflect the fluidity the tiles have by using after affects. I am using four primary colors; turquoise, red, navy and white and planning to redirect the lively patterns in the tiles with color changes.
