Naama Tsabar — Work on Paper #6
Naama Tsabar

Work on Paper #6

2018

Work on Paper #6 presents a taut, almost austere object that rewards close attention. Naama Tsabar has stretched and stitched cotton thread across ph-neutral cotton paper, anchoring the composition to a wooden support with ph-neutral glue to create something that hovers between drawing, sculpture, and musical instrument. The thread lines read simultaneously as notation, as wound string, and as bodily suture, collapsing the distance between sound, material, and the human form. At just 70.5 by 27 cm, the work is intimate in scale yet carries a quiet insistence, demanding that the viewer reckon with what is held in tension, literally and conceptually. Tsabar is widely recognized for works that transform everyday and architectural materials into instruments capable of sound production, and this piece extends that investigation into a more concentrated, hand-held register. The careful archival specification of ph-neutral paper and glue signals a commitment to longevity that feels deliberate rather than merely technical, as though the work insists on preserving the tension it embodies. Offered through Dvir Gallery and signed by the artist, Work on Paper #6 represents an accessible entry point into a practice that has attracted significant institutional attention, including major exhibitions across Europe and North America. For collectors drawn to work that operates at the intersection of feminism, materiality, and sonic inquiry, this is a considered and enduring object.
