Big Paw belongs to Naomi Gilon’s world of exaggerated bodily forms and fantastic creatures. The title turns attention towards a fragment of a body, at once familiar and strange. Across Gilon’s practice, paws, hands and claws blur the boundaries between sculpture, accessory and imagined being. Their appeal lies partly in that uncertainty: something playful can also feel unruly or unsettling.
