G枚zde 陌lkin: The Trap
In her exhibition The Trap, G枚zde 陌lkin presents a series of artworks made out of found domestic fabrics that she has been collecting over time. 陌lkin deftly reworks the material with an arrangement of images, loose threads and thin layers of paint. Her artworks act as an embodiment of personal experience and collective memory and a witness to a layered understanding of identity.
The images in the series offer confrontational interactions. Spidery contours of military boots are stitched against a pale floral design, gigantic botanical illustrations take on threatening proportions and many of her figures are shrouded in a pink amorphous cloud. But her stories never quite unfold into their logical conclusion. They enact political relationships, feelings and promises that are failing to reach a solution, remaining abstract and in limbo.
