Following two major sculpture exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum and the Herzliya Museum, Navok now presents a new series of drawings at Noga Gallery, created using an unusual sculptural technique. Over the past year, she has produced hundreds of small, individual units of abstract drawingsโlike building blocks. Through an extensive process of assembly, she has carefully combined these units to form rich, dense, and multilayered compositions.
The exhibition features 11 new drawings on paper alongside four relief drawings made of aluminum, each in a square format. In these relief drawings, Navok has integrated various everyday objects taken from domestic spacesโtowels, blinds, a pipe, and half of a work tableโembedding them into the compositions. This process of merging objects with the drawings highlights their abstract and sculptural qualities.The techniques of layering, compression, and assembly evoke a sense of fortification and blockage โa feeling of falling apart and collapsingโpaired with a desperate attempt to hold everything together and make use of what there is.
