Visually, Naomi’s work appeals to me due to its use of multiples and repetition. I am also drawn to her choice of materials, such as cardboard, and use of bright colours. Naomi often incorporates recognizable objects and images which, when altered in some way, can result in a shift in meaning.

Ideas and methods of collecting and ordering are apparent in the work, almost like a visual taxonomy, attesting Naomi’s efforts to find ’something permanent’ and ‘absorb’ her surroundings. Her work is sharp and witty, often with a dark humour, combining references from anthropology and history with (those from) popular culture and the kitsch.

I find her work exciting and look forward to see where it may take her in the future.

Naomi Lethbridge is Siân Green’s choice for the christmas bocs nadolig exhibition.

One of our members, Meirion Ginsberg has uploaded a couple of pictures of his work on his bocs profile. Meirion’s work is largely autobiographical and injected with humour, borderline figurative and abstract it is influenced by a huge range of painters from Willem DeKooning to Rembrandt.

Some pretty interesting stuff, so click here to pop along and have a look.

If you’re interested in seeing more from Meirion, he’s got his own site filled with loads of images.
