Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

• June 18, 2009 - July 21, 2009 as a resident

 

Derya Hanife Altan (b. 1982, Worcester, MA) used to design clothes and page layouts; now she makes sculptures and

diagrams. Sometimes she makes baskets. Her great great great great great grandparents on both sides were nomads

of the Central Asian Steppe. This explains a lot, like the lilapsophobia (tornadoes) and her having lived all over.

Currently, as she finishes her MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Derya lives in Michigan.
