Collection: Didem Mert - Featured Artist - 2018

Being the daughter of a woodworker, Didem was raised in a design-rich environment that has influenced her current body of ceramic work. Geometry, texture, and the functionality of my work emanates from this artistic environment. Different textural surfaces are created in her work by using pinched marks juxtaposed between smooth, defined lines and edges.  Bright colors paired against a soft earthy color palette create high-contrast focal points in the work. Using simple geometry, she incises line-work into the pots to heighten the formal elements of design.

Her work strives to bring forth a sense of tranquility in its minimalistic design, yet there is a sense of playfulness directed through the color palette and pinched surfaces.
