Hello! I’m Naomi.
I’m an LA-based fiber artist, creative thinker and collaborator.
In my artistic work I take a materials-driven approach. I use mostly secondhand fabrics, and allow the natural character of the materials to create the basis of a design. As a multidisciplinary textile artist, I often combine techniques to achieve a desired effect.
Much of my work falls under a “durational art” umbrella. I enjoy the process of repetition, of entering the meaninglessness of doing something for the 100th time, and the deep meaningfulness of doing it for the 1000th. There is a meditative nature to textile art that I seek to embrace – the point of the piece is the process, not the product.
I’m also a fruit-forager, an avid cook, a book-lover, and an owner of four fish named Jeff.
Please reach out with any collaboration inquiries – I’d love to make something together.
Based in Los Angeles, Ca
