Naomi Siegmann

Naomi Siegmann (1933 – 28 February 2018) was an American artist who developed her career in Mexico, and was noted for her depiction of everyday objects outside their normal contexts.

She worked in this medium for about twenty years, before moving on to other materials, including recycled ones, in part due to her concerns for the environment.

[9] From 2001 to 2006, Siegmann organized and coordinated an artistic and ecological project called El Bosque/The Forest in four cities in Mexico and four in the United States.

Her work has also appeared in publications such as XX Century Dictionary of Mexican Sculpture (1984), Naomi Siegmann (1985), Art News (1992), Mexico in the World of Art Collections (1994), Collection: Pay in Kind (1992–93), A Vision of México and its Artists (2002) and Naomi Siegmann (2014)[9][2] She is a member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.

[3][6] In the 1990s, she began to experiment with metal, working with discarded molds from a local factory along with another artist named Inmaculada Barca.

[5] In the new millennium she developed installations like "Realidad Alterada" ("Altered Reality" 2011), a garden made of recycled tires, or "Lluvia de jacarandas" ("Seed Rain", 2003), representing a rain of jacaranda seeds, both pieces made in measures that can be adapted to big spaces of variable dimensions.
