I started
working with drawings after I tried to make collages, some sculptures and
moving images. I realised that only drawings wasn't working for me in a lot of
particular ways and I was going through this sort of quest to understand my own
identity and my artistic identity as a daughter or a friend to the history of
myself. I was so into using sexual and excretory images. I wanted to find out
why I did so. There was a huge flood of information that was living back there
in my mind. In a way the cut parts of bodies was a result of a practice and
also the result of this had me removing something from the whole and then I
have got separated from the whole.
On the basis of ideas prompted
by psychoanalytic thinking, I am on the process of describing the ideas
elaborately considering aspects of methodology and dealing with various
materials. For instance, by using images of partly cut human bodies, I tried to
think of a relation between subject and abject. Separating my self who feels
pathological shame over sexuality from the image that is not cut out allows me
to make an image of resistance against the subject in which in spite of
incomplete images looked uncomfortable, I cut parts of bodies that provoke
sexual arousal to be looked free from taboo. Therefore, spectators in front of
the collage I have done ultimately feel comfortable and acceptable. Strangely
enough, incompleteness of images can associate with perverse sexuality. There
are images of body’s leaking, splitting or decaying as excretory functions.
Such desire related to dirty things could allude to resistant images to
something repressed.
