Noa Mor, 27 years old, lives and creates in Tel Aviv. My artistic practice begins with thinking about isolated spaces and wilderness. which I bring to expression in the construction of objects from transparent materials, metals and plaster on which I imprint textures that rely on memory from the environment.
I am interested in these spaces because an empty and uninhabited place has opportunities for different forms of life. The wilderness gives rise to the option of movement but also the possibility of settling and cultivating the place. I operate in these two spaces while thinking about the geographical and cultural location in which I grew up. These values are embodied in the idea of the camp. In my works I refer to the camp as an alternative for way of living. The camp can be temporary but also the beginning of a permanent place. For example: tied fabric sheets, scattered pegs and improvised barriers are part of a form of construction of "zoola" in underground nature parties. I use them as a visual source to create another environment without a clear identity. My choices for material to work with inspired by abandoned places, my work begins by testing the material and its ability to change the state of matter, this is to produce with the materials objects that seem to rot but they continue to develop at the same time. Although my work is sculptural, the thought behind rooted in the printmaking medium. I carve wooden plates and casting silicone on them. The product is a silicone sheet on which the negative of the wooden plate is applied. Working in forms allows me to work in a limited area in which I have the freedom to mix materials that are seen as "disgusting". The sculptural works lack of a real human presence but they have the memory of a body. In my work I want to capture the delicate and extended moments of material disintegration this is to hint the body as a fluid thing with the option of being injured.
