US National Collage Society Award Goes to Bilkent Faculty Member

She is also the first international signature member of the Collage Society. During her stay in December, she will be visiting universities in Ohio to give presentations about her own work as well as Turkish art in general.

Her work explores the sea as a symbol, and demonstrates the complementary relationship between the intaglio printmaking process and traditional Turkish marbleizing, ebru. The ebru technique allows her to transfer paint floating on the surface of water onto paper, while intaglio textures are attained by passing paper placed on a metal plate through a press. These two opposed techniques, one from the east and the other from the west, merge to create a harmonious whole.

Veryeri Alaca's work is represented at various museums in Italy, Poland, Georgia, Turkey and the United States, including the Museum of Painting and Sculpture (İstanbul) and Museo dell'Incisione-Costello dei Paleologi (Acqui Terme, Italy). Here in Ankara, her original art works can be viewed at her solo show opening at Galeri Nev on February 24, 2006.
