Naomi Blake's sculpture encompasses both abstract and figurative forms. Her granddaughter, Lucy Blake, has observed that much of her grandmother's work 'focuses on the expression of her experiences, and is principally optimistic. It stands determinedly to help keep alive the legacy of the six million slaughtered Jews, as well as promoting her vision for uniting different faiths, her confidence in humanity and her hope for the future'.
