Bringing the unknown and the familiar into collision, Yasemin Kackar-Demirel grows paintings rich in chance elements and personal history. Time, from which emanates both longing and change, plays an important role in her process of assembling old cloth, traced shapes and recognizable architectural elements with freshly applied paint that responds in unpredictable ways and sinks in over days. Surrendering to the intense pleasure of getting acquainted with new materials and connections, she engages in a dynamic of give and take, negotiating risk and control to the benefit of discovery and transformation.
