About Naomi Hoare
Best known for her evocative self-portraiture and collaborative storytelling through Modor & Dohter, a creative partnership with her daughter, Hoare’s practice explores identity, transformation and the unseen labour of caregiving. Her body itself has become an archive, marked by lived experiences of motherhood, breast cancer survival, and self-expression including tattooing her own skin in sovereignty. Naomi has also delved into breastmilk archival, memorial jewellery and mural painting, layering both intimate and public forms of storytelling into her work. She frequently experiments with new materials and processes to deepen her ongoing commitment to witnessing, reclaiming and reimagining the stories of women and families.
RMOA's 2025 Artist in Residence program is generously supported in partnership with Haymans Electrical.
