From
the Press:
…her embroidery on a sullied tablecloth was a highlight
of ''Pricked'' at the Museum of Arts and Design -- The
New York Times
…lacey creations are imbued with Abstract Expressionist verve
-- The
Village Voice
She gives dramatic substance to the unintentional and renders chance
permanent. The results are strangely thought-provoking, painterly
abstract compositions -- ARTnews
…her works are like vivid, stuttering topographical maps, with stitches
gathering in a healing way around the dark stains...her mastery
of color and gesture makes these works beautiful -- The
Boston Globe
...Nava Lubelski's wondrous wine-stained tablecloth-a minor disaster
elevated to art simply by embroidering the edge of the stain with
red floss -- American
Craft
Beginning with stained canvases, Nava Lubelski meticulously stitches
multicolored thread through splattered drips and blots, creating
a beautiful abstract work that contests the randomness of action
painting and the utilitarian nature of craft. -- The
Brooklyn Rail
Shredded tax forms, tablecloths forever embracing a spill, and cut
clothing all embody Nava's sculptural, canvas and paper works. Thread
resembles splatters, Russian novels are breaded and deep-fried,
and love letters are torn and reconfigured while expressing aggression,
femininity, preservation and destruction. -- Twin
