One of my sculpture professors, Prof. Dr. Germenalp says:

 “A good piece of sculpture should create curiosity about the indistinct parts of itself. You should feel a strong necessity to turn around and have a look from different angles".

On the other hand Prof. Koçak, a mathematician, says:

 “Break the limits of your minds. Try to draw X, Y, Z axes in an order totally unfamiliar to your experiences.” 

When I think of all these considerations, I always get to the same conclusion. Whatever we question –an equation or a sculpture– we should consider all aspects of the matter, with all possible and impossible different perspectives using the knowledge we already have.

 Recently, I am working with a mathematician, Dr. Azcan about collinations on 2 dimensional planes. As an introduction to the subject, he metaphorically said, “When you find out the picture of a set under a collination, you may be surprised if the picture looks like of a Picasso’s work.” When he saw my work for the first time, he told me I was actually utilizing collinations. Dr. Türkkan, a sculpture builder on the other hand, says my works build balanced spaces, which are almost perfect as mathematics itself.

 We are back to the basics. If it’s just a cup you are trying to define by interdisciplinary comprehension approach and study, you will produce a simple cup. A cup that is different than any others you have already produced. And most importantly you would have re-defined a cup from scratch.

 I think Leonardo da Vinci did not waste his time working on human anatomy for days.  I also assume that, Calder’s sculptures in forms of little red objects hanging are independent systems, which can be defined by Calder himself. I strongly believe every single score in Stockhausen’s Sirius Symphony is organised according to a certain mathematical order. The visualization of Lorenzo Theory always reminds me of Escher graphics.

 I mention Boccioni and Gabo in different contexts since the concept of speed are defined in different ways by futurists and by constructivists. That is why I think Euclid and Riemann show us the different faces of the world. I believe, all creative minds that are in traces of puzzling questions, scientists or artists, are stroking in the same unknown waters. That is, to find new approaches, which will push science and art another step forward, the scientists and the artists should have some interest in each other’s disciplines.

 While designing the forms, I have developed complex surfaces using simple figures. I used semi-transparent paper material. My intension was to produce another dimension on the sculptures through light and shadows. While working with steel, I have tried to utilize the reflection of metal surfaces, to produce a similar effect.
