Songul Telek of Turkey graduated from the Sculpture Department of Mimar Sinan University.

This is Songul’s second time participating in Sculpture Saint John. Her piece,“Enthropy”, created in 2018, is now part of the New Brunswick Sculpture Trail in New Maryland.

She has participated in over 20 symposiums and multiple exhibits throughout Turkey, USA, Egypt, India, Romania, Syria, and the Czech Republic as well as in the Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium in 2011 creating a sculpture for Bar Harbour Maine titled “Tension”.

“My sculptures have the basic compositional elements in common: tension between the units, rhythmical arrangement of masses and a balanced and harmonious overall composition. Material is the main defining force of sculpture. Within every material the sculptor sees new opportunities of narration. Among all materials, with its complexity, durability and fragility together, stone may be the most formidable of all.”

“Confidence”

Town of Grand Bay-Westfield

2022 Symposium

“Varying in forms and themes, my sculptures have the basic compositional elements in common: tension between the units, rhythmical arrangement of masses and balanced and harmonious overall composition. Here, neat details and crossing lines in horizontally arranged in two pieces express a struggle of synchronization of the two gears. Building the confidence between the two for unity.”
