Noa Chernichovsky: Facing the Plenty, 2022
Noa Chernichovskyโs work is based on a constant awareness of her immediate surroundings as she moves in the world. She examines the network of associations created around objects and their fragments, tying together their inherent narratives.
Her work aims to spotlight the everyday physical things we often overlook, and she reconstructs them into hybrid ceramic volumes. The aesthetic at the core of her practice is based on the urban imagery of the asphalt road or sidewalk as a constant inhabited by transient, colorful imagery.
Chernichovsky sees herself as a โsamplerโ of surfaces and forms from the physical world. Her sculptures are composed of many elements, each with its own context and cultural value. As in a collage, these elements accumulate into a larger image that holds its own various identities and creates a dreamlike new environment.
She combines different ceramic techniques, including thrown parts, hand-building and slab molding, blended with non-ceramic materials and readymades. Although the subjects of her work are mundane, they are conveyed in an over-the-top language, with elaborate textures and patterns that produce a final image full of energy.
