About

Melih Meric (Born 1998, Istanbul/Turkey) is a printmaker currently residing in Akron/Ohio. They explore a spiritual journey through Islamic geometric abstraction. Using printmaking as their main medium, they create works that talk about diaspora, assimilation and queering of Middle Eastern traditional practices. Their works combine traditional pattern making and a contemporary way of creating editions. With a passion for pattern and paper, they use innovative methods of printmaking and textile arts to create stitched editions and embossed works on paper. They received their MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Print Media, and BFA from Bennington College in Printmaking.
