Curator's Note
“Chala Toprak’s 'Iris N.9' is a masterful limited-edition sculpture that captures the delicate, unfolding motion of petals through a blend of iron-rich stoneware and porcelain. Channeling the mythological strength of the Goddess Iris, its organic folds and raw textures offer a profound meditation on fragility and resilience. This evocative, tactile piece would serve as a striking focal point on a minimalist credenza or add a layer of quiet sophistication to a sunlit reading nook.”
About the Artist
Starting out as a fashion designer in her hometown of Istanbul, Chala Toprak swapped out one metropolis for another and found a home in Brooklyn in 2019, where she first started working with clay. Toprak soon found solace at the pottery wheel, and what began as a hobby quickly developed into a full-time pursuit.
