Noa Chernichovsky's work is based on a constant awareness of her immediate surroundings.  She examines the network of associations that is created around objects and their fragments, tying together their inherent narratives. Her work aims a spotlight on the everyday physical things that we often overlook, and she reconstructs them into hybrid volumes. Her sculptures are composed of many elements, each with its own context and cultural value. As in a collage, these elements accumulate into a larger, overall image that holds its own various identities. She combines many different ceramic techniques that include thrown parts, hand-building and slab moulding, blended with non-ceramic materials and ready-mades.
