Naama Tsabar — Work on Felt (Variation 8)
Naama Tsabar

Work on Felt (Variation 8)

2015

Work on Felt (Variation 8) presents a commanding tension between industrial material and acoustic softness, suspending taut carbon fiber strings across a dense field of industrial felt to create an object that exists equally as sculpture and latent instrument. Measuring 190.5 by 156.2 centimeters, the work's scale commands the wall with the authority of an abstract painting while its construction invites the viewer to consider touch, vibration, and sound as embedded rather than incidental qualities. The carbon fiber threads, stretched with precise geometry over the warm, absorptive felt ground, carry a sense of potential energy, as though the piece holds its breath between performances. Naama Tsabar, whose practice has been exhibited internationally and is held in significant private and institutional collections, developed the Work on Felt series as an ongoing investigation into the boundaries between visual art and music, architecture and body. Each variation is both autonomous composition and part of a larger conceptual system, its materials chosen for their resonant properties as much as their visual character. The felt absorbs and the carbon fiber conducts, and in that pairing Tsabar locates a quiet but persistent dialogue about what a surface can hold and what it can transmit. Signed by the artist and offered through Páramo, this 2015 work represents one of the more resolved and physically arresting iterations within the series. Collectors drawn to work that operates at the intersection of minimalist aesthetics and conceptual rigor will find in Variation 8 an object that rewards sustained attention, its stillness concealing a restless formal intelligence.
