Daisy Noyes is a photographic artist based between Melbourne Australia, and rural Massachusetts. She utilizes camera-less technologies, digital and large format film cameras, and works in the spaces between photography, painting and performance. Sometimes her images are records of fleeting actions or interventions in the environment; other times they include interruptions to the print itself. Her current practice explores parent-child relationships and domestic labor through process-based methodologies. She often works in collaboration or at cross-purposes with her children.
