1969

The work called 1969 which was made in 2007 is an ecology-minded work. Sezer wove the shape of the three places on the earth that we are used to as having perpetual snow: Greenland, The North Pole and Antarctica. She took their shapes from an atlas of 1969. At that time we were not as aware of the world heating up as we are presently. Sezer wove the shapes from organic materials and made them hang in the sky like clouds. The warp hanging down as if they were raining empty. The fact that these places are warming up and loosing their perpetual snow is of major concern for ecologists and she often imagines the rain we have here may come from evaporated water from one or all of these places.
