As some of you know I am at a work residency in Yalova, Turkey.
We are working here with around 30 international artists. It is a lovely atmosphere and the „camp“ is right next to the Marmara Sea. My temporary studio is 20 meters from the water and I enjoy that beatiful view every day…
At the end we will have a preview exhibition in Istanbul, before the show will travel to the actual exhibition venue, the Yalova Paper Museum // Culture Center.

Here some photos of the “studio” and a few of my works in progress.

Last weekend I went to Istanbul to get some good (metropolitan) posters. After two days of walking around Istanbul I finally found some really nice material in one oft he side roads in Kadiköy on the Asian side. I decided to go back at night with some friends. I asked them to keep an eye out while I am ripping down the paper. It can be a bit edgy sometimes, not because I am doing something illegal (which I guess I do), mostly because it makes so much noise to get a big multi layered wall of posters down – and I am having my back turned to the street.
Thank you to Britt and Serdar!
