about the artist

incikansu

 

INCI KANSUMy philosophy of art is based on work and experiment. I approach the artwork within the practice of the paper production and arrange a meeting with a handcraft and a plastic art. Deepness and memory are the main elements of my work which has layers either it is two or three dimensional.
