Path and Inspiration
As a psychologist specializing in art therapy based on clay, my work revolves around exploring the two different facets of my personality through ceramic objects. These two sides, which I refer to as my dependent and independent sides, serve as the main sources of inspiration in my creative process. One side is characterized by simplicity and plainness, while the other is vibrant and joyful.Process and Practice
My name is Asena Akman, and I am a psychologist and ceramicist. After completing my degree in psychology, I started practicing art therapy, which is how I first discovered clay. Over the past four years, I have been experimenting with different ceramic techniques and pushing the limits of the medium.I took a ceramic classes and learned how to make stoneware glazes from a skilled artist, and I have been practicing these techniques for several years.
