I don’t want to receive bad news,
I prefer to just sit in the sun, 2023

Installation consisting of ceramics,
coffee powder, water, wood and metal

‘I don’t want to receive bad news, I prefer to just sit in the sun’ is an installation consisting of originally 50 hand build ceramics cups and saucers, 2 ceramics hand buil pots consisting of Turkish coffee powder and water, a manual, an electric stove, 1 cevze and spoon, a wooden table and 2 wooden plates, and a list with symbols.

Turkish coffee readings have been around for centuries. It's a tradition in Turkey, but the trick lies in the ritual. And like other forms of fortune-telling, people want to hear the good things.

In this installation the viewer is invited to make their own cup of coffee, and read their future. The difference with this reading is that the outcome is always positive.
