K. Velis Turan
My mixed-media fiber pieces are works in
dyes and a variety of other media on whole cloth.
I start by silk
screening with layers of dyes onto fabric. I work shadows and reflections into
translucent veils of color with paints.
My pieces are quilted and
embellished to add texture, depth and details.
Portfolio 1 - Urban Landscapes - Architecture, bridges and roads dominate urban landscapes with graphic patterns. They are steel, stone, concrete and glass designed by man at its most functional, abstract, touchable and forceful. The places portrayed in my pieces will last
only until they are reclaimed by nature, contractors, building
projects or chaos. These are works representing a particular place, in a
moment of time that is always changing and evolving.
Portfolio 2 - Still life works, rural landscapes and other miscellaneous pieces.
