An Analysis of the Workspaces of Turkish Cypriot

This paper gives an overview of a selection of Turkish Cypriot women artists and their workspaces. It presents a comparative analysis of the relationship (artist-workspace) and tries to understand the tangible and intangible qualities of their workspace. The complex relationships between their individual identities, occupations, age and the artwork they produce are also discussed in the paper. All the selected artists are recognized internationally. The selection process for these artists was initiated with an interior design studio project and continued with snowball effect. It was based on semi-structured interviews, which allowed for in-depth discussion. Based on the data collected, the paper aims to shed some light on the relationship between the women artists, their artwork, and their workspaces.
