Artist Talk with Connie Noyes

Artist Connie Noyes will be in conversation with gallerist Theresa Abel discussing the work in her current installation Dinner For Two Leftover followed by Q&A from the audience. Open to the public, this event will be held on the second floor of the gallery and will be recorded for later viewing. In no. 5: Dinner for Two Leftovers by Connie Noyes Dinner for Two Leftovers extends Noyes' research into mourning by exploring the visceral responses of bodies and emotions intertwined with loss. Through photography, installa-tion, movement, video, and sound. The artist delves into themes of grief, cultural memory, and both individual and collective healing. What began as a personal inquiry extended to address collective grief related to global warming with a focus on water. Drawing on the Hydrocene theory, which shifts eco-aesthetics to "think as water” rather than merely "about water,” Noyes believes that by sharing grief, we can rediscover our most profound humanity.
