''DENIM LOVES ART''

by CALIK DENIM

HANDMADE DENIM/PAPER

Denim Loves Art project was created to mark Calik Denim’s 30th anniversary. For this outstanding project, the company has invited young designers. The final 30 artworks, selected by an international jury, exhibited in Istanbul, Amsterdam and Los Angeles. My 'handmade paper collection' was one of the chosen artworks to project.

SURFACES I:

The collection of old newspaper clippings, receipts, tickets and other memories were mixed with denim to create a paper collection symbolizing true life experiences. The uniting feature of denim and paper is that they both age through the course of time, increasing in value as they get older. These two materials - both natural in origin - were used both together and in separate contexts in this collection.
