ZEYNEP BOYAN WORKS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACTION AND MATERIAL-DRIVEN PRACTICE. HER SCULPTURAL LANGUAGE MOVES BETWEEN ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION, EXPLORING MOVEMENT, BALANCE, AND BELONGING THROUGH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MASS AND VOID, BODY AND SUPPORT. WORKING PRIMARILY WITH TRADITIONAL HAND-BUILDING TECHNIQUES AND STONEWARE CLAY, SHE CREATES ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES IN WHICH FORM EMERGES INTUITIVELY THROUGH DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MATERIAL. ROOTED IN SCULPTURE, HER PRACTICE OCCASIONALLY ENGAGES WITH FUNCTIONAL FORMATS THAT RETAIN THE SAME MATERIAL RIGOUR AND SPATIAL PRESENCE.
