The practice

I work with the impression
water leaves behind.

Rooted in Turkish Ebru, my practice extends water marbling into silk installations and architectural settings. Folds, gravity, and open structures bring the image into space.

The artist

Zeynep Guvenc

Turkish-born artist based in Cary, North Carolina. My practice brings traditional Ebru into silk installations and architectural explorations.

Each work begins on water and continues through the material, its support, and the space around it.
