ESSAY
Working in multiple formats and media, Connie Noyes is an original with a unique vision grounded in her distinctive imagination. Whether she is painting, photographing, or constructing, Noyes' creations are inspired by the irregular shapes and involved lines that dance through her mind's eye and that she integrates into alluring patterns through disciplined composition.
Noyes is at her best when she goes full tilt, layering her surfaces and compounding forms into dense abstractions that draw the viewer into the complex interconnections that she stages. Although Noyes' productions are suggestive of emotion and meaning, they work primarily on a perceptual, rather than a psychological or conceptual level, by beckoning the viewer into the systems of incomplete order that emerge from the moment of "chaos" in her creative process.
Among the rising generation of artists, Noyes is among the few who are not derivative and who take a welcome fresh and individual approach.
