Her poetic is in old relationship whit the Black colour, which is a thread conductor of her whole production. Black is a greedy colour, it absorbs completely the light. It’s total absence of colour, but also a vital phenomenon. It goes beyond the concept of classification. Black is an idiom that plays inside, and materializes itself every time in structures and different process, until assuming invisible pattern.

Matthew Stead (Musician / UK)

Matthew Stead is a musician/pop singer/poet from England. Music impressario and mischief maker Kim Fowley has called him 'a godlike genius of pop!' though Matthew just likes to think he knows how to string music and words together so that they sound nice. He first started writing and performing garage rock music with Bristol band The Mighty Stars, who enjoyed success in England and toured Europe. When that band broke up, he threw himself into creating his own album of tweepop/folk music Storytime, which he released on vinyl using his own record label Homeward Angel Records. He now sings and writes for two bands: Lost and Found, an anti-folk duo who have just recorded an album in Matt's home studio (aka his bedroom), and A Fine Day for Sailing, who have recently released two critically acclaimed albums on Pop Noise Records and Vollwert Records-Berlin respectively. A Fine Day's for Sailing's first album created quite a buzz, achieving 5/5 in National music magazine Artrocker, and reviews in for the second album so far are even better. Matthew is incredibly excited about coming to Istanbul, staying at Hush and taking part in Jungle Jam, and can't wait to meet his fellow artists and get creating.

In these years at first her works will be a painting linked to an informal cooperative gesture to sign-write, as well as on painting as an expression of visual-conceptual, more related to writing, that she has developed over the years.
