Door 1, 2025 by Defne Tesal

Tesal often works with simple materials such as thread, pencil and paint, using repetition to reduce observed landscapes and everyday experiences to fields of colour, lines and directions of movement. Elsewhere, she deliberately limits conscious decision-making, allowing drawings, videos and performances to develop as immediate responses to what she sees, hears and feels. This balance between structure and intuition is central to her work.
