About
Naomi portrays a fragmented mythology using recurring symbols as an aid to unveil previously forgotten memories. Her intimate iconography reconciles her experience of loss, inviting ever-evolving reinterpretations of a personal mythology. The titles are mediated from conversations with her mother before she passed, and now late-night ones shared with her sister. The imagery is inspired by these not as a literal depiction, but an embodiment of the sensations that memories provoke but cannot put into words.
In the work people emerge as otherworldly beings, perhaps they are ghosts, gods, or vessels. Naomi uses the medium of watercolour on stretched cotton, its sensitivity allows the work to hint at a forms perceptible outline without reducing it to a fixed image or narrative. The space embodies an unearthly presence, appearing and disappearing simultaneously.
