Seda Uslu’s practice is a space of inquiry that expands through words, images, and questions. The language of words serves as a source for the emergence of images and questions. The relationships between the mind, the image, and consciousness form the intellectual foundation of her creative process. The gap between the image that arises in the mind and its material, visual manifestation is the point where creation begins. For Uslu, the act of making—informed by an understanding of materials and the craft of production—becomes a means to re-examine what we believe we already know.
