“The work of Naomi Filmer comments ironically on the human/machine symbiosis. […] Filmer discovers new spaces on the body to adorn, with objects designed to nestle in the negative spaces between fingers, teeth and the folds of the ear. […] Filmer pieces explore a more surreal vein, the functional and dysfunctional body and its manmade technological extensions.” ( Gilhooley and Costin, 1997, p.13 )
“The ligth in the mouth is another version of adorning the negative space. Rather than wearing something in it or on it, you expose it and light it up.” ( Naomi Filmer, Gilhooley and Costin, 1997, p.105 )
