| first time I met gourd was in 1963. most recently in 2001 I discovered how to make sculptures from gourd.I opened an exhibition in ankara-turkey.at the university of hacettepe in 2003. there is no example of my work in turkey. in the rural areas they hang gourds together with the bluebeads(to avert the evil eye).I guess Iam the first person who discovered gourd sculpturing in turkey. when they first saw my gourd sculptures in the exhibition, the were so amazed.they touched them with their finger tips timidly. actually gourds are used for different purposes in the world.but I suppose the best way to benefit from gourds is to use it only for art.because, gourd is so elegant, so gentle, sosacred and so magnificent material for art.babur. |
