Mervenil Emiroglu

Artist Statement: I am interested in evoking both the familiar and unfamiliar - the feeling of the uncanny. My work is based on ornaments I have found which I then morph and manipulate. Audiences may find they recognise some parts of my work, while others remain a mystery. I am also interested in lost memories, history, meanings and cultures, and experimenting through various media in my response to the ornaments allows me to explore altered meanings.

Techniques: painting (oil and acrylic), paper, print making, photography, video making, instillations, and 3D, using various materials.
