Noelle Mason is a trans-media cultural producer who manipulates appropriated images, objects, and contexts to investigate and expose the subtle seductiveness of power facilitated by systems of visual control.
“I am primarily concerned with the artificial means by which we extend our ability to see and the mediating object’s affect on the transmission of images to affirm social and political hierarchies.” Noelle was raised in southern California where she completed her undergraduate work at the University of California, Irvine. She was a 2004 resident at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and received her MFA the following year from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Noelle has shown nationally and internationally in non-traditional spaces, galleries, and institutions including the National Museum of Mexican Art and the Smithsonian Institute. She is the recipient of a Jerome fellowship and the Illinois Art Council International Artist Grant. She spends her spare time skydiving and debating the advantages of x-ray vision verses invisibility. |
