The consept of transmittance in the forms of ceramics

The work of art report titled ''The Concept of Transmittance in the Forms of Ceramics'' is a study through which the concept of transmittance in the relationship of art and life is addressed, and the works of art by the artists from different disciplines are examined and subjective ceramic practices are performed over this concept. In this study, the concepts of transparency and light transmittance, which are mostly associated with porcelain in ceramics, are addressed as rendition and discussion of a mental process rather than a technical requirement in the field of ceramics. It is aimed to create a transmittance effect visually in the front/ behind, consecutively, before/ after through the spaces opened on the form surfaces made of clay and shaped manually or by placing the shapes that make layers consecutively. The devastating loss experienced during the Proficiency in Art process and the association of the fact that the soul separates from the body with the emptiness due to this loss has attributed a new meaning and perspective to the concept of transmittance. There are two significant concepts in the fields of literature and psychology guiding this study. The stream of consciousness technique and the technique of free association used in psychoanalysis were also effectively guided this study and discussed in this study. In the free association technique, the person expresses his/ her thoughts without intellectualising them. An abstract stream between the thoughts are observed in this technique. In this context, the stream between the thoughts is combined with the transmittance created by the space made on the ceramic forms and surfaces, and personal perception is materialized. The personal approach to the concept of transmittance is supported by the works performed through plastic arts and literature. Practices in ceramics have turned into concrete forms where the concepts of death and transmittance meet, and issues such as the separation of the soul from the body after death and its transition to the afterlife were also examined together with the concept of transmittance, and it was tried to be reflected in the practices of ceramics by means of an artistic language.
