I DREAM, DRAW, WEAVE & TOUCH
Fabled creatures of ancient Mesopotamia. The Evil Eye. Ottoman glazed tiles. The myriad blues of the Aegean and Mediterranean. Turkish tapestry artist Ufuk Girgic finds inspiration in her homeland’s cultural and natural landscape. Using a unique combination of natural materials of various textures, and knots that are both traditional and of her own design, she expresses her double passion for storytelling and fiber. Discover the depths that lie beneath her misleadingly simple designs.
