Noa Chernichovsky's practice explores the material language of the everyday city. Drawing on overlooked urban details, eroded surfaces, vegetation, market produce, and everyday objects encountered while walking, she transforms familiar textures and forms into hybrid ceramic sculptures and installations. Her work moves between the constructed and the organic, control and spontaneity, permanence and decay, considering how materials record time, movement, and human presence. Through mould-making, wheel-throwing, hand-building, collage, and layered surface processes, Chernichovsky combines ceramics with glass, sand, metal, paper, and found urban fragments. Processes of repetition, accumulation, fragmentation, and recombination allow familiar objects to shed their utilitarian identities and become part of an autonomous sculptural language.

Processes of repetition, accumulation, fragmentation, and recombination allow recognizable objects to lose their original functions and become part of an independent sculptural language.​
