Noam Elyashiv’s practice focuses on transitional steps between drawing and creating objects that reside on the body and the gestures that occur in response to relocation, dimension and gravity. In her recent body of work, Time Lines, the majority of the pieces had previous lives and experienced some sort of metamorphosis. The work invites the viewer to stay longer and look closely to discover its nuanced formal history.  Noam strives to reduce the physicality of objects into their primary essence . She considers space as a real substance in her work, and the lines, planes and forms exist to hold and define it.
