Biography
Noa Chernichovsky's practice explores the materiality of the everyday city. Drawing on overlooked urban details, eroded surfaces, vegetation, and everyday objects encountered while walking, she transforms familiar textures and forms into hybrid ceramic sculptures and installations. Her work moves between the constructed and the organic, control and spontaneity, permanence and decay, considering how materials record time, movement, and human presence. Through mould-making, wheel-throwing, hand-building, collage, and layered surface processes, Chernichovsky integrates glass, sand, metal, paper, and found urban fragments into her ceramic works, both during the making and firing processes and through post-firing assemblage. Processes of repetition, accumulation, fragmentation, and recombination allow familiar objects to shed their original functions and become part of an independent sculptural language.
