April 2022... I have personally been at a loss as to how to react to the current events facing us these days. Whether in each moment we’re facing the prospect of rapid climate change, mulling whether or not to wear a mask to prevent us from a pandemic, or trying to process how to react to the atrocities we are witnessing in Ukraine and the possibility of a third World War, it seems that everything is dire now. Everything is pressing. Most importantly, everything requires response. So how do we respond in times like these, when the situations we are facing are so life-threatening? First, we must respond on a personal level, then the circle grows larger as we consider how to handle these issues with our families, how to communicate with and care for friends, how to act on a larger social scale, what to do, what to say, and what not to do and what not to say. Then there are the state responses, the national responses and the international responses. Responses are everywhere. And this is where I am in my art. At dire times like these, what is the nature of these responses? On an individual, familial, social, state, national and international level? Are our responses commensurate with the urgency and severity of each act or issue? If they are, what does that look like physically? Artistically? What happens when our responses are disproportional to the act or issue? What does over-reaction look like physically? Artistically? What does taking no action look like physically, artistically? I am currently enmeshed in exploring the nature and degree of responses using my varied petal vocabulary in a series of monochromatic personal narratives.

Wescover creator since 2021
Pulling and painting clay petals in NYC for over 15 years...

Lush accumulations of clay rose petals morph into abstract and realistic buds, blossoms and full roses, blooming into free-standing sculptures, ceiling suspensions and wall-hung works. Lauren Naomi’s kaleidoscopic, painted petal formations range from minimalist to highly ornate. A third-generation gardener, Lauren brings her floral love out of her garden and into her studio. Nestled inside an abandoned storefront in a struggling shopping mall on Staten Island, she transforms a fourth-generation family tradition of floral crafting into a practice uniquely her own. Using only her hands, she sculpts thousands of clay petals out of a Japanese air-dry compound, arranging them in her own petal language on fragile and unexpected materials including packing paper, chicken wire, and used car tires. Her compositions are her attempts to view human psychology in a tangible art form. She plans to explore modes of ‘contemplation’, creating floral abacuses, systems of calculation, cycles and measurements, next.

Lauren Naomi received her BA in Psychology with a Visual Arts Concentration from Barnard College, Columbia University, in 1997. In 2004, she received her MA in Art/Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Lauren currently lives and works in New York City.
