BIO

Noelle Fitzsimmons speaks in an abstract language of motion and sound. She invites visitors to handle, look, or listen, so that her work has to be experienced to be fully realized. She received her BFA from Texas State University and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts New York. She has exhibited in Snæfellsbær Iceland, Madrid, Spain, Athens, Greece, YAA Museum, Miami FL and The Hole in New York City.

Statement

My work examines death as a form of change and insists on the human connection to the natural world.

Audiences are the only reason an artist makes; however, you are born alone and die alone in your own body. Love, conversation, language, sex: they're all attempts at a connection in the face of death.

A fading smile.

A car passenger's face pressed up against the window side, asleep

unveils a dress of autumn leaves falling from your neighbor's tree

when the machine rolls past your line of vision(

A laundry list of necessities comes to mind.

Every morning the news reveals a pandemic, war, and projections of

complete and total loss of the environment.

I want to linger in the space between life and death. Change could hold its breath in this reality—a pregnant pause asking us to prioritize the natural world as part of our survival.

I want us to cling to each other because of the inevitability of change.
