Hemp Lady

Product Name: Hemp Babe
Materials: Hemp

As KETENE Inc., we have achieved a first with the experience we have gained in the field of textile since 2001. For a sustainable world, we grew hemp with domestic seed, processed it with ecological agriculture, harvested it with our own company developed machines; we have created timeless designs by producing fiber, yarn, fabric. We supported the handicrafts of
Anatolia and the arts that have almost fallen into oblivion in our country, and created employment. For the first time, we applied natural dyeing and ecological printing to hemp. For the first time, we produced a bag from 100% hemp fiber. We were inspired by the natural, we created the natural.

We support the arts and the artist!

We design our products with precious artists who are experts in their fields. By combining natural products with skillful hands, we ensure the emergence of high-quality designs. We combine the natural with art, both support the artist and revive the arts that have fallen into oblivion. For the first time in Turkey, the canvas painting made of hemp fiber was launched
under the HE-PO brand name. On this long and laborious path, the root dyes, and natural
products that we provided to the artists met with unique works of art.

As HE-PO, we adopt an approach of eco-friendly production and sustainability in fashion. Within
the framework of our approach, we will continue to create added value by supporting eco-friendly production and employment opportunities in our country.

She started photography during herstudent years and continued her photography career professionally until 1995. Since 1990,she has been weaving wall panels with pictorial effect by reinforcing the teachings of photography, painting and weaving in her weavings. The artist, who has been producing works on three-dimensional textiles for the last 10 years, has participated in 92 exhibitions (including 30 personal exhibitions) in Turkey and abroad. She received the first prize in the Green Textile competition exhibition at the 1st International Antalya Textile Biennial. She is currently working as a lecturer at Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Textiles. She continues her personal studies in her atelier in Büyükada, Istanbul.

The artist has the feel of traditional textile expression, production forms, materials with her personal approach, reflects the harmony, simplicity, balance and colors in nature by using natural materials and highlighting the “texture” element in her designs. The artist, who produces her works by adding her contemporary interpretations to the traditional weaving technique used in her works, aims to carry the local understanding to a universal state. With narrations such as material, method, concept, etc., she reveals original works in different forms that have something to say.

“In my work in recent years, the fabrics I have produced by weaving natural fibers and fibers that I have collected from nature have led me to investigate touch and texture differences. Currently, within the scope of these studies, I use the fibers, sawdust and roots of hemp,which is the oldest textile material found in archaeological excavations that are colored by completely traditional methods. With the principle of sustainability and zero waste, we have also prepared an exhibition with the cooperation and contributions of the valuable Ketene Family, who is transforming the hemp fabric obtained from domestic seed into sustainable final designs by using traditional natural dyeing, woodblock printing technique and ecological printing methods.

In this exhibition, we aim to approach hemp as an artistic material as well as all its features and to bring out original works in different forms with expressions such as material, method and concept by highlighting the texture element.

Welcome to our exhibition prepared in cooperation with the Ketene Family.

Regards”
