| Naomi Grossman |
| |
Naomi Grossman not only draws her female figures in wire, she twists and bends the wire into words that are like whispering thoughts revealing messages from within. She deals with themes of power and control, voices that are silenced and the authentic voice found within by holding language, written and visual, in tension. Her wire sculpture probes deeper into how language describes and defines ones identity. Her sculptures are like drawings in space, the wire changing in gauge from thin to thick the way a line does. In 2008 Grossman's work is being shown in a show "Wired" at the Ernest Rubenstein Gallery of the Educational Alliance in NYC. She is also in "Line, Gesture, Space" at the Annunciation Gallery of the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown, NJ. In 2007 Naomi Grossman had an installation "holding my breath" at the Project Space/Phoenix Gallery, Chelsea, NY. In 2006 Grossman had a one-person show at the Phillips Museum of Art- Rothman Gallery- at Franklin & Marshall College- Lancaster, PA In 2005 Grossman was the recipient of the first place award at the Parrish Art Museum Juried Exhibit in Southampton, NY Naomi Grossman has been in many invitational shows, one-person shows and given artist talks at many college campuses. She is the recipient of the 2008 NYFA MARK grant, and has been awarded the NY Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) SOS grant numerous times. For more information, go to www.naomigrossman.com

| About the Artist |
My wire organic sculptures reference the human form and function as drawings as well. Wire magically becomes line in space, changing in character & becoming messages from within. The wire functions to create a tension- as in the expression “wired”- while also conveying fragility. The sculptures are delicate and have words embedded in their “skin”. These words give the viewer the sense of eavesdropping on someone’s secret obsessive thoughts. It is always probing deeper into how language describes and defines one’s identity. |
