​The Night is for walking, down the street:

When I sleep I go to many places,
some exist as dreams,
some as nightmares.
The work exists in the in-between.
After being torn,
I have been torn repeatedly.
I imagine that I am mist at night,
sewing together mist.
One membrane on top another.
The rebuilding of traumas stemming from my childhood,
is a collection of scraps,
a rough assemblage,
of soft and hard materials.

​

Naomi Momoh's work investigates the intersections between race and gender from the point of view of her childhood. Traumas experienced during her childhood, due to these chaotic intersections, are expressed through - physical deconstruction of toys / poetic deconstruction of children’s literature / fabric printing / intuitive sewing. Attempts to rebuild these memories and reconcile with her present. These memories are soft scraps / jagged soft forms colliding/ incomplete text that represent this cycle.
