GAPS 2021 — 2023

The Gaps series marks a pivotal transition in my artistic practice. The first works in the series are the earliest woven pieces to be placed on a frame as autonomous artworks — without canvas and without any painterly intervention. Until that moment, my work existed exclusively through weaving and the physical presence of natural fibers.

Gradually, the series evolves into a dialogue between textile, canvas, and color. Weaving remains at its core, yet it begins to coexist with painted surfaces and chromatic interventions, creating new layers of tension, silence, and materiality.

The “gap” functions both as a physical opening and as a symbolic space of transition. It is the point where the woven surface separates, reveals, and allows light or color to emerge. The works move between absence and presence, fragility and structure, the handmade object and the painted surface.

Through natural fibers, raw textures, and minimal gestures, the series captures the moment when weaving ceases to function solely as material and begins to transform into a pictorial and spatial field.
