In glassworks, Erdem recognises the medium as an instrument for thinking and takes the artistic process as an interplay of form, colour, and texture in exploring the expressive possibilities of glass. He enjoys to design his artworks as individual elements of large multi-sensorial installations and thematic collections.

 

YELLOW CREAM | 2020

Glass is enigmatic - a formless thing with a boundless potential to be anything. How funny, it seduces to add, but dazzles when it’s less. Demands intention, but fascinates when it’s unintentional.
