Between Delicate and Violent

Şirin Bahar Demirel

When photographs fail, can a painting or an embroidery function as a memory?

Can we see the violence of the painter's hands in the brush strokes of his paintings? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet? 'Between Delicate and Violent' imagines unearthing traumatic memories that have not been included in family albums.
