Introducing NAOMI OTA - visual instalation artist/ designer

Our designer for EVERYMAN & THE POLE DANCERS is NAOMI OTA. I was introduced to Naomi and her work by Matt Crosby, who is a big fan of hers. We met, we talked, we agreed to collaborate. Everyman & The Pole Dancers seemed like an ideal platform to start our collaboration.
Here are some links to Naomi's work:

Naomi Ota - Visual installation artist

Naomi Ota is an installation artist whose work uses fibrous materials.  Her works ranges in scale from small detailed pieces to large spatially interactive designs. Naomi often draws on images and memories from the natural world and from the earth; places connected to emotional memory, places faraway in the imagination and calling on her memories of growing-up in Japan. Naomi’s works have been exhibited in various exhibitions in Australia, Singapore, Belgium, France, UK and Japan. Her works are in public collections, which include National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Victoria, Art Bank and Kyoto Nishijin Textile Industrial Association. Naomi has extended her practice to include work on a range of national and international projects spanning butoh, contemporary dance, intercultural theatre, and experiential arts projects where she contributes interactive design and spatial elements. Her process is intuitive and collaborative. The result is often to lead the viewer to a more interactive sense of the performance space and an understanding of how expressive qualities of performance are multidimensional. Naomi has PhD in textile art from RMIT University and MAs in fine arts from RMIT University and the Kyoto City University of Arts, Japan
