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 Cities Daily Planet
