Maury Vaughan & Melike Taşçıoğlu Vaughan – Labor of her hands Light of her eyes

Within the scope of SAHA Sustainability Fund 2023, SAHA provided publication support for Maury Vaughan and Melike Taşçıoğlu Vaughan’s book titled Labor of her hands Light of her eyes. The exhibition with the same title accompanying the book was realized in the impressive setting of Dalyancı Mansion in Eldem Art Space. Unlike archaeology, which has a patient and methodological practice, Melike and Maury use a fragmented narrative to reconstruct the life of a mysterious woman through art, craft, biography and social commentary.
