about
Alya Yersu Toraman is a Turkish artist from Istanbul. Her work engages with the materials, objects, and forms of our lives.
Working with substances encountered in daily life, textiles accumulated over years, inherited fabrics, discarded garments, studio remnants, and organic matter, she develops compositions guided by the physical and human character of each material. Through repeated adjustments and intuitive construction, folds, simple shapes, and geometric relationships gradually emerge.
Materials carry their own histories and associations, sometimes noticed, sometimes overlooked. Toraman’s practice invites closer attention to the materials and objects that surround us and the unexpected harmony they can form together.
Toraman lives and works in New York.

Working with substances encountered in daily life—textiles accumulated over years, inherited fabrics, discarded garments, studio remnants, and organic matter—she develops compositions guided by the physical character and presence of each material. Through repeated adjustments and intuitive construction, folds, simple shapes, and geometric relationships gradually emerge.
Because each material carries its own histories and associations, their encounters within the work create subtle moments of interaction. Toraman’s practice invites closer attention to the materials and objects that surround us and the unexpected harmony they can form together.
